Animal welfare
In addition to the goal of producing valuable and sustainable favorite pieces of the highest quality, animal welfare, the respectful and species-appropriate treatment of the alpacas and the preservation of their natural habitat are absolute priorities for us. Thanks to our close relationship with our partners and manufacturers in Peru, we have been able to see for ourselves how our products are made. We also support local farmers and communities.
How it all began.

For the good of the animals
Alpacas are extraordinarily valuable animals. Their wool is an exquisite raw material and a precious gift from nature. With a life expectancy of 15 to 20 years, the shearing of the animals over their entire lifetime is far more profitable for the alpaca farmers than the individual fur. No animal is harmed solely for the production of our materials; neither for the wool of the annual shearing nor for the fur obtained as a by-product. In addition to the incredible softness, this is a unique selling point of our textiles. With our products, you can enjoy natural and sustainable luxury.
For the good of the farmers
The condition that no animal is harmed just for the manufacture of our products is our top priority. However, our claim goes further: in a globalized world, in economically, politically and ecologically challenging times, it is important as a company to take responsibility and give back to society. We have not only set ourselves the goal of bringing traditional Peruvian craftsmanship to the world, but also of supporting local farmers and producers to lead a self-determined life. This is why we have supported local charitable projects from the very beginning. We plan to expand this support even further in the future.
