WHY ALPACA
Alpaca boasts a silky softness that surpasses even cashmere. Its fine fibers, ranging from 18 to 22 microns thick, feel incredibly gentle against the skin.
Imagine being wrapped in a cloud – that's the feeling of alpaca. Microscopic air pockets within the fibers trap heat effectively, keeping you toasty without the bulk. It's seven times warmer than sheep's wool, making it ideal for colder climates.
Alpacas graze freely in the pristine Peruvian highlands, requiring no harsh chemicals or pesticides. Their natural breeding practices further contribute to an eco-friendly approach to fashion.

Unlike sheep's wool, alpaca fiber is naturally hypoallergenic. It lacks lanolin, a common irritant, making it perfect for those with sensitive skin.
The incredible fineness of alpaca fiber allows for garments that require less material. One alpaca can produce enough fleece for up to five luxurious jumpers, minimizing waste and maximizing resource utilization.
Nature's palette comes alive in alpaca fiber. From the purest white to a rich, intense black, and a stunning array of over thirty shades in between, alpaca offers a vast selection of natural colors to suit every taste.
