Zero+Maria Cornejo Alpaca sweater/shrug

photo from creatures of comfort





Absolutely gorgeous, handknit chunky shrug sweater from designer Zero+Maria Cornejo. Very heavy and cozy and perfect neutral gray, made of 100% superfine alpaca.  Hooded with extra-long sleeves and faux-bone button on the front. A great example of the "cocoon" shape Maria Cornejo loves.

I purchased this on final sale from Creatures of Comfort last year. I love it but I'm not getting much wear out of it. I've reinforced the buttonhole, but otherwise this is in beautiful condition. It is handmade and so has some very minor irregularities, but these were present when the sweater was new. There are no holes or stains.

Size is medium, but I would say it's better suited to a larger small or a smaller medium. Having said that, it has lots of stretch and give and is not structured. (This is why it's so hard to photograph!)

Retailed for $789; I paid $214; asking $145 shipped in the U.S. Listing ends in one week.
