Long before alpaca graced boutique shelves or farm stalls, it was treasured by the Andean people of South America. Often called the "Fiber of the Gods," alpaca fleece was reserved for Incan royalty and used to craft qompi, Luxurious textiles worn only by the elite. This revered fiber carried cultural significance and was central to the heritage and economy of the Inca Empire.
But beyond history, there are practical reasons our customers choose alpaca again and again.
It’s warmer than sheep’s wool, yet lighter to wear. It resists water and odor. It’s hypoallergenic. And most importantly, it holds up season after season, story after story.
But there’s something more to it. Something you can’t measure in stats or specs. When you wear alpaca, you feel connected. To the earth. To the animal. To the hands that turned raw fleece into something beautiful and useful.
In a world of fast fashion, alpaca reminds us to slow down. To wrap ourselves in meaning. To choose quality, care, and a bit of quiet luxury.
