SUSTAINABILITY

There are so many reasons to feel great about alpaca products:

Low Environmental Impact Farming

Alpacas have soft, padded feet that minimize soil erosion. They consume less water and food, and require less acreage than other fiber-producing animals. 

No Harm to Animals

Alpacas are shorn once a year, and the process is necessary for their health, making it an ethical and cruelty-free fiber. 

No Harsh Chemicals

Alpaca fleece contains no lanolin, so it doesn’t require chemical treatments or intensive washing. 

Biodegradability

100% natural alpaca fiber decomposes completely, leaving no non-biodegradable materials, like microplastics, behind. 

Longevity

Due to its durability, the use of alpaca fiber creates less waste than many other fibers found in traditional and fast fashion.  

Minimal Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Alpacas produce significantly less methane than sheep or cows, creating a lower carbon footprint.
