This herringbone scarf made from baby alpaca in Peru has a classic-modern design and a noble sheen. Thanks to its flexibility, it is very comfortable to wear around the neck and can be styled in many ways. A favourite piece with textile tradition, made in Peru.
Tradition and sustainability come first
Our baby alpaca scarves are made locally in various communities in the Andes. We adapt our designs to the production capabilities of each community, creating a collection that expresses South America's local culture and resources in every design.
Anti-allergic – Warm – Soft – Breathable – Dirt-repellent
The absence of lanolin, which occurs naturally in sheep, makes alpaca fibre hypoallergenic, an important choice for people with sensitive skin. Alpaca fibres are five times warmer and stronger than sheep wool, as the air pockets they contain retain more heat, and they are also lighter and more breathable than other animal fibres. Alpacas live in the extreme conditions of the Andean highlands of South America; to adapt to this harsh climate, they develop a special protection: a long, fine coat that does not retain water and is particularly warm. And finally, noble alpaca wool is highly self-cleaning: it naturally repels dirt.
