FUNCTIONALITY
Alpaca is a hypoallergenic fiber that is not only super warm and light at the same time, also its softness and durability (repels water, absorb almost no moisture and is very resistant) make the garment superior to others.
SUPPORT TO COMMUNITIES
Alpacas are a very important source of income for many South American families, apart from the use of their meat and wool, alpacas are also a pack animal that generates a positive impact on workers and the environment unlike any synthetic fiber.
SUSTAINABLE
Alpaca wool is biodegradable, which means it will degrade naturally over time without harming the environment, alpacas consume water directly from the natural source and prevent soil erosion by cutting grass while grazing, instead of plucking it like other animals.
ENERGY SAVE
They have more than 25 natural colors that can be used in garments minimizing the use of dyeing processes, this fiber has a low fat content, which means that less energy and chemicals are required in its washing process and its water source does not require irrigation systems or extraction of water resources from surface or underground water bodies.
CRUELTY FREE
Alpacas are sheared once a year with the arrival of spring to avoid overheating and also for health reasons. For the process of alpaca fur used for apparel products such as purses or Stuffed Fur animals, the leathers in our products are from alpacas that have passed from natural causes.
