Cobalt Blue “Killa Anka” Crew Neck Sweater
Material: 100% certified Peruvian Baby Alpaca (AIA)
Weight: 310 g
Cobalt blue is not just any blue. It is the color of the Andean sky at its deepest point—that intense strip that appears just before the sun fully rises. Killa Anka, "moon and eagle" in Quechua, carries in its name that tension between the ethereal and the powerful, and translates it into a sweater that commands attention in any outfit.
Knitted from 100% Peruvian baby alpaca certified by the International Alpaca Association (AIA), this sweater is three times softer than cashmere and completely hypoallergenic: lanolin-free, ideal for sensitive skin. Its naturally hollow fiber thermoregulates body temperature, keeping you warm in winter without being stuffy in spring.
Hand-finished by Peruvian artisans specialized in Andean textile tradition, each piece reflects hours of work applied to a knit that improves with wear and age.
How to wear it: Cobalt blue pairs naturally with grey, black, white, and camel. Over black trousers for a polished look; over jeans for a contrast of texture and color that requires no additional accessories.
Care: Hand wash in cold water with mild wool detergent. Do not wring. Dry flat.
