Soft On Skin - Made of 100% Baby Alpaca fiber, our Chunky Full Zip Cable Knit cardigan is very soft on skin. It contains no lanolin and is made from 100% alpaca yarn. Alpaca fiber has a hollow structure making it up to 3 times warmer than wool as the hollow structure retains heat.

Our clothing is eco-friendly as it is responsible sourced, produced in small batches, and is made from 100% alpaca fibers without any microplastics. Our apparel brand supports indigenous communities across Bolivia and is working towards an end goal of making fashion more sustainable.

Whether you are at the office, you are trekking in the mountains, traveling, or enjoying a stroll outside in the cold, our knitwear will keep you warm and cozy. This sweater can be dressed up or down and is very versatile thanks to the natural temperature-regulating properties of the alpaca.

When designing our knitwear, we went for a classic look based on comfort and on usability. Our knitwear has a standard fit and alpaca is naturally stretchy meaning it will contour to your body overtime. For more on our sizing, please check our sizing page found on the Help tab.

Benefits Of Alpaca Fiber

Odor Resistant

Unlike polyester and cotton, alpaca naturally resists odors, allowing for multiple wears before washing.

Soft On Skin

Alpaca fiber is soft on the skin and free of lanolin, making it non-itchy unlike sheep's wool.

Thermo-Regulating

Alpaca fibers are hollow, creating air pockets that enhance insulation and retain heat better than the denser wool fibers

100% Natural

Unlike polyester and nylon, alpaca fiber is 100% biodegradable and decomposes naturally.

Antibacterial

Alpaca has natural antibacterial properties, which inhibits the growth of mildew, bacteria, and mold.

Water Resistant

Alpaca naturally repels water thanks to its hollow structure. It offers superior insulation versus wool and dries quickly.

Warmer Than Wool

Fiber studies and industry observations have shown that alpaca is warmer than sheep's wool. It is also fire-resistant.

Long Lasting

Alpaca fiber is very strong and durable. Research has shown that it has a tensile strength of up to 50N/ktex.

Sustainably Made

Single-Sourced from Bolivia, we help support 60,000 indigenous families.

Our production process is strictly 100% in Bolivia, from the shearing of the Alpaca in the indigenous communities in the Andes, to the processing of the fiber.

We source 100% natural earth-based materials that are renewable, biodegradeable, and circular. We use 100% Alpaca and 100% Llama fibers that are carefully harvested in indigenous communities across Bolivia. Up to 70% of our products are undyed, but we also use eco-friendly dyes using natural dyeing processes.

Our manufacturing process is based on sustainable sourcing and production principles. We single-source all production within Bolivia. We do import metal zippers (used in our cardigans and 1/2 zip sweaters), corozo buttons (used in our cardigans and made from seeds from the Corozo tree in Ecuador), and elastic (used in our sweatpants).

From the shearing of alpaca fleece in small indigenous communities in the mountains, to the carding, cleaning and spinning into yarn, each step within our production process is fully traceable and transparent. We work with over 25 local artisans who handmake each item using traditional handknitting and handloomed techniques. Completed items are then forwarded to our office in Cochabamba using local freight companies before being shipped to the US.

Why Alpaca

Fiber of the Gods - The superior outdoor fiber for comfort and longevity.

Bred for thousands of years, The Inca civilization bred alpacas to have the world’s finest fleece, creating an incredibly soft fiber capable of withstanding freezing cold temperatures.

The alpaca produces one of the warmest natural fibers in existence, being warmer than sheeps wool, including merino wool. Alpaca fiber has a hollow internal structure which allows it to better retain heat and makes it lighter than merino wool. Alpaca fiber is naturally temperature regulating due to this semi-hollow structure.

Alpacas produce some of the finest fleece in the world, the Incans referred to it as the "fleece of the gods". They have been bred for their fine fibers for over 600 years. Free from lanolin, alpaca fiber is hypoallergenic and is soft to the touch and not itchy. We source only the finest baby alpaca, superfine alpaca and Royal alpaca fibers.

Alpacas are raised high up in the altiplano or high plains and in the Andes mountains of Bolivia and Peru. In Bolivia, alpacas live in mountainous communities that are indigenous and descendants of the Incas. Raising alpacas is their livelihood and they are considered part of the family in these communities.
