Autumn, the perfect season for the poncho!

We know that autumn is an insidious season for clothing. It is cold in the morning and evening, but during the day temperatures rise; so when we are out all day we need to carry something to cover our shoulders. Why not choose a Poncho then?

Its strength is simplicity: it is only a square of fabric with a hole in the middle where to pass the head. The term probably derives from the Chilean and, historically, it is used both as a cape, thanks to its soft line that slips from the neck to below the waist, and as a blanket. It became popular in the fashion world of the 1940s in the United States of America, and is periodically re-proposed.

The poncho is one of the oldest garments in the world, but at the same time it can be easily declined in a modern key.

The poncho can be simple and contained, but also wide and enveloping; it can be short or long, cape, triangular or rectangular, elegant or sporty, with fringes, white, plain, with embroidered motifs. In almost any way you can imagine it. Another great advantage of the poncho: it is a one-size item of clothing, which fits perfectly with the female silhouette and is perfect for all bodies.

The important thing is to choose it in a good material that allows perspiration, such as alpaca wool.

The fiber obtained from the Alpaca fleece is renowned for its softness, for its lightness and for its peculiar thermal characteristics (up to 7 times warmer and 3 times lighter than sheep’s wool). The microscopic “air pocket” structure that characterizes the fleece acts as a true thermal regulator adapting wonderfully to cold temperatures as well as mild temperatures and thus keeps the right warm and avoids being too hot. Alpaca is the only animal in the world that produces wool in a huge variety of colors. Over 22 shades: from pure white to carbon black, passing through a wide range of brown and beige. Alpaca wool is also lanolin-free, it does not felt and does not cause allergic reactions.

INKANTI has chosen baby alpaca wool for its creations also because it is a naturally waterproof, insulating material and because the waste in the production of the yarn is really low.

In addition, the shearing of the alpaca is necessary for the survival of the animal during the warmer months, it is neither dangerous nor painful for him.

An alpaca wool poncho takes up little space and keeps you really warm; it can be kept in the bag without ruining it and it will soon become your best ally to face autumn days with serenity.

In INKANTI we have declined the poncho in 3 versions, from light perforated, to versatile with fringes to end with the warm with open sleeves, available in natural colors such as white, beige, gray and black, but also in more shades to better adapt to your personality:

This poncho has something more! It is the “MUST HAVE” model of the collection, 4 seasons, versatile in its wearing, to always keep in any situation! You can wear it with the edge forward in a traditional way, from the side for an original look, you can also keep the edges at the sides and fully cover the arms; You can use it as a cover for shoulder on an elegant dress, you can combine it with a sports trousers or jeans; and you can also use it as a scarf. One piece, a thousand combinations!

The JULIACA model:

Covering, but openwork. Through its original transparencies and an edge that finishes it with extreme elegance, it is easy to wear, light, versatile and adapts to any season. In our opinion it is perfect for the first cold! Even this you can wear it as you like to adapt perfectly to your style.

And the soft IQUITOS model:

A very warm fellow, thanks to its 8 hectograms of wool, it remains as light on the skin as only baby alpaca fiber can be. Here is the ideal garment for a walk on a cool autumn afternoon or to meet up with friends for an aperitif in the city!

INKANTI’s style advice: try the poncho instead of the jacket or on a leather nail You will surely make a great impression!
