Vintage Knit Sweater Vest

This unique vest draws inspiration from the historic Ollantaytambo fortress, a significant site that served both as a military stronghold against invaders and a refuge for the Incas during crucial moments in their history. Renowned for its strategic importance during the Spanish conquest, the name “Ollantay” originates from the Aymara language, later adapted into Quechua, meaning "place of observation from above." Reflecting the spirit of the Incas during battle, this vest is crafted from 100% super fine alpaca, embodying the rich cultural heritage and resilience of an extraordinary civilization. Wear it as a tribute to the indomitable strength and legacy of the Incas, whose legacy continues to inspire.
