What makes alpaca special?
Exceptional softness
Alpaca fibers are incredibly soft to the touch, providing a superior feeling of comfort from the very first wear.
Natural temperature regulation
Alpaca helps retain warmth in cold weather and allows good breathability as the temperature rises.
Hypoallergenic
Unlike many traditional wools, alpaca contains very little lanolin, making it a more comfortable choice for people with sensitive skin.
Lightweight and durable
Its fiber combines lightness with strong resistance to wear, allowing garments to keep their look for many years.
