The softest, fluffiest scarf you will ever own!

The fashion industry considers alpaca fibre to be one of the world's greenest, most natural, and softest fibres. 

It is prized for its unique, silky, and luxurious feel and has a lesser tendency to pilling.

This fibre comes from small artisanal farmers in the Peruvian highlands. They work by traditional farming methods and are attentive to sustainability.

Artisan Profile

In the earliest Peruvian history, you will find examples of the bond between the Incas and Alpacas. 

The Incas valued alpaca fibre more than gold or silver. The knowledge and craftsmanship of spinning and knitting have been passed down from generation to generation, resulting in Peru's rich, diverse textile heritage. 

 

New patterns are combined with traditional methods, giving an innovative touch without losing the ethical heritage.

The alpaca lives mostly without any boundaries in the highlands of the Peruvian Andes and is not harmed during the shearing process. Their soft, padded feet are gentle on the grass terrain and graze without destroying the area's root system. 

Alpacas are the only animals that produce up to 28 natural colours and can be blended into an infinite array of shades, from inky black to warm chestnuts and snowy white. They are easily dyed in any colour and always retain their natural lustre.

Alpaca is supple and smooth to the touch, and because of its featherweight, it’s ultra-light. It is softer than cashmere and warmer and stronger than lamb’s wool.

 

It contains microscopic air pockets, which create lightweight clothing with excellent insulating properties. It is a natural fibre, and no harsh chemicals are used in its production.
