FAIR TRADE ALPACA SCARF: MAYU’S MELANGE HOODIE

Welcome back to our Mayu Look Book series where we will continue to explore the Mayu collection, piece by piece.  Recently made a Mayu purchase?  Show us how you style your new alpaca accessories by sending us a photo – we will be sure to share it with the Mayu community (and that includes our artisans in Peru)!

Introducing the Melange Scarf  Hoodie knit with 100% Alpaca by the Mayu team in Peru.  This unique piece will turn heads with the words, “That’s so Cute!”, with it’s beautifully attached scarf and oversize hood.  This hybrid scarf/hoodie is knit loosely with a  diagonal stitch and it is 5-ply which speaks to it’s chunkiness, softness and luxuriousness. It is made to last through this winter and the next and next…

I recommend combining the Melange Scarf Hoodie with your favorite black blazer for a casual day look.  On cold days, snuggle under the Melange Scarf Hoodie – raise the hood, wrap around your neck and fall into a blissful heaven! This scarf wrap is available in two awesome color variations, both which were chosen to accompany almost any outfit — Beige, Creme, Charcoal Grey or Creme, Kelly Green, Brown.  Be the first to sport this classic look and be the first among your friends to launch a new trend! And, be the one friend who NEVER complains about loosing her hat or her scarf.

While working on this design in Peru, Kate didn’t provide the artisans with a sample and well, she learned a very big lesson!  Four samples later (and Kate feeling really bad) the Mayu team was able to get the piece fitted to perfection and as it appears today. Wow, this hoodie is so super cute. I can’t wait to get my hands on one this Fall.
