ANKU CONVERTIBLE BABY ALPACA SWEATER

A versatile expression of modern alpaca knitwear, the Anku Sweater is designed to transform with you. Crafted from exceptionally soft 100% Baby Alpaca, it features a detachable turtleneck with a functional button-on design, allowing you to wear it two ways—as a refined high-neck sweater or a classic round-neck knit.

Soft, lightweight and naturally warm, Anku is an effortless layer designed for everyday cold-weather dressing. Pair it with our Sairi Fingerless Gloves for a cozy, distinctly YAPA winter look.
