Alpaca

an Andean inhabitant

They are raised on the mountains, grasslands and pastures of the Andean altiplano at heights between 3500 and 5000 meters. The Alpaca has developed a unique coat which is similar to human hair.

Each alpaca is sheared every two years from when they are two years of age. There are several traditional techniques for shearing them, with different mooring practices; from mooring the 4 legs to tie their heads in a corridor.

Any of these millenary techniques last between 15 and 20 minutes per animal. The farmers, with the help of experts, uses the most appropriate cutting instruments. The Alpaca do not suffer any pain during the shearing time. Once they are sheared they are released!

Cute, fuzzy and with coats that can’t be beaten, alpacas always steal the show!

Why 100% Alpaca Wool?

Because nothing feels, performs, or lasts quite like it. Pure alpaca is luxuriously soft, naturally warm yet breathable, hypoallergenic, and durable enough to wear for years — without blends or synthetics to dilute its beauty. When a garment is made from 100% alpaca wool, every fibre you feel against your skin is naturally soft, silky, and free from scratchiness. There’s no blending with coarser fibres that can reduce comfort. Without synthetic fillers or other animal fibres, 100% alpaca retains its natural strength and elasticity. Your garment keeps its shape, resists pilling, and stays beautiful for years.
