Recommendations on where to buy an alpaca coat/jacket in Cusco?

I'd love to buy myself an alpaca jacket or hip-length coat. I stopped in many shops around the square and saw nothing of interest. Any recommendations?

Much of the nicer baby alpaca clothing is actually made in Arequipa, or Lima and exported. I don't know if Awana Kancha carries clothing. I went to their equivalent in Arequipa (Mundo Alpaca) and they had some nice, but pricey stuff.

There should be some boutiques in the high end hotels, also.

Awana Kancha definitely has some clothing although I don't remember seeing coats or jackets.

Sol Alpaca may offer what you're looking for; there are a few locations around Cuzco including one near the Casa Andina Private Collection hotel at Limacpampa Square (about three blocks from the main square).

Michel Group is a big manufacturer, Sol Alpaca is one of their brands. You can look online at their catalog to see if it appeals
