Apangora – Lightweight Alpaca Wool Hooded Poncho – Charcoal, Gray & Burgundy

Everyday Light. Quiet Colour. Handmade in Ecuador.

Apangora is the easy everyday poncho: light, hooded and quietly striking in charcoal, gray and burgundy.

Handcrafted in Ecuador from a baby alpaca wool blend, it features a rich black base with deep burgundy stripes and muted gray geometric panels. A two-button neckline and attached hood make it practical for travel, festivals and cool evenings; the subtle fringe keeps the traditional character.

“Baby alpaca” is the name of the finest grade of alpaca fibre, not the age of the animal — alpacas are shorn once a year, like sheep.

Warmth

Lightweight (about 1.4 lb). Best for cool rather than freezing weather, or as a layer over a jacket.

Size & fit — one size

A poncho has no sleeves or seams to fit, so one size fits almost every adult; your size mainly changes how much of you it covers.

• Standard width. Fits any adult; if you want more arm coverage, see our extra-large ponchos.
• If you're 5'4": hem at the knee, arms covered past the elbow.
• If you're 6'2": hem at mid-thigh, arms covered to the elbow.
• Still unsure? Enter your height in the poncho calculator or see the size guide.

Care

• Hand wash cold with a mild detergent (or delicate cycle in a mesh bag)
• Do not bleach or tumble dry
• Lay flat or hang with support to dry, out of direct sun
• Steam or low iron with a cloth if needed

Handmade, so no two are identical. Each piece is woven and dyed by hand in Otavalo, Ecuador. Colours can be a shade lighter or darker than on screen, and fringe and pattern placement vary slightly — that is the signature of a real artisan piece, not a flaw.
