The History of Alpaca Wool: Tradition and Quality in Every Thread

Alpaca wool is more than just a fibre; it is a cultural legacy that has been present in the lives of Andean communities for millennia. Since pre-Incan times, alpaca has been a symbol of prestige, wealth and functionality. Today, it remains one of the most sought-after fibres in global fashion for its softness, durability and exceptional thermal characteristics.

Alpacas, originally from the Peruvian Andes, are raised at the highest altitudes, where the cold mountain air is an essential part of their natural environment. Their wool, made up of thousands of fine fibres, is a biodegradable material, making it a highly sustainable option. Throughout history, Andean communities have worked alpaca fibre using techniques that are passed down from generation to generation. Each alpaca garment created is therefore a reflection of dedication, ancestral knowledge and respect for nature.

Nowadays, by choosing alpaca products such as sweaters , scarves and ponchos , you are not only acquiring a luxury item of clothing, but also a piece of history, culture and tradition of the Andean communities. By consuming these products, you contribute to preserving this living heritage, supporting fair and environmentally friendly trade.
