Cotopaxi Libre Sweater – Unisex
Retro design, proven materials and always a conversation starter. Made entirely of llama fiber, it features an engineered mesh back panel for temperature regulation, beefed up ribbing for durability, and a throwback style. Additionally, it’s made from start to finish in Bolivia using llama fiber from the region, which helps provide income for the suppliers, farmers, and people knitting the product. A win-win situation while you look good!
Please note: Due to the Libre’s athletic cut, size up if you are between sizes. Material may feel itchy initially, but will soften with wear and washing.
Retails for $140 and available at cotopaxi.com.
