What makes the Alpaca hide so unique compared to the other furs? 

- TWO different kind of furs: At 4,000 meters in altitude in the Andean Region, live two different types of Alpacas- the Suris, and the Huacayas . The Huacayas have a fluffier look while the Suris have long, lustrous locks.

- Guilt-free fur: This is the perfect fur for all animal lovers since no animal is killed to provide the fur.

- Extremely soft fur: This is due to the quality of its fiber. The softness of the fiber is determined by its cuticle and diameter:

a-Cuticle: Alpaca fiber is as soft as Cashmere, but has a smoother cuticle that can make the fiber feel even smoother and softer then Cashmere.

b-Diameter: The diameter, measured in microns (1/25,000 of an inch) is the major determinant. The scale height of alpaca fiber is about .04 microns compared to .08 microns for wool. The scale frequency of mohair is 6 - 8 per 100 micron length of fiber and of alpaca is greater than 9 per 100 micron length of fiber. In other words, the individual shaft of an alpaca fiber is measurably smoother than that of other natural fibers.

- Extremely light yet warm fur: A cross section of an alpaca fiber will reveal microscopic air pockets. These pockets of air add to the insulating qualities as well as the light weight of a garment made from alpaca.

- Totally non-allergenic fur: Alpaca contains no lanolin or any other substances that   cause allergic reactions. This is why it can be used from bed covers to baby cribs! It is a chemical free and completely natural hide.

- Fur that maintains its luxurious feel year after year: Because of its cylindrical-shaped fiber, dust and dirt do not adhere to them. It is an extremely resilient fur!

- Fur that doesn’t shed: Alpaca do not shed since they are found in the cold Andean regions.

- Fur that is more flame resistant than synthetic fibers or plant:  it can be used in multiple sectors that have stricter inflammability codes such as retail, hospitality and commercial.

- Water-resistant fur: water will roll onto it.

- Fur that is easy to care for: Brush it out with a fine tooth metal pet brush. Shake it outside and any dirt particle will fly away and vacuum your rug with a hose attachment. For spills or spot cleaning, a sponge with a mild soap and water solution will work best. Make certain that you don't get the leather wet by using so much liquid that it penetrates through the fur, down to the leather. Do not use any harsh chemical agents to clean the fur.

For a deeper clean, we recommend a professional furrier.

 Alpaca fur is an extremely soft and luxurious fur!

What makes our alpaca hides more unique than the competition?

- Our hides are more thoroughly cleaned and therefore odorless: After having collected the hides of the naturally deceased animals, the farmers sell us the hide and we treat them through an extensive cleaning process that removes all grease and any possible bacteria (Brazilian machinery and German chrome-free cleaning agents). This allows the properties of the alpaca to remain intact while removing the strong odor given by alpaca hides.

- Our hides are more malleable: We have specialized machines from Brazil to soften the malleability of the skin so there isn’t that toughness commonly associated with Alpaca hide.

- Our colors are untransferable: Because the oil has been removed from the hide in the cleaning process, it makes it possible for the ecological dyes (French dyes) to properly attach themselves to the fibers thus making it untransferable to other materials it comes in contact with.

- Our colors are following the latest market trends: We have developed a color palette that will appeal to a wide variety of clients, just as much in the fashion industry as in the textile and furniture industry.

Our 2018-2019 Colors are based on the 2018-2019 Pantone Fashion Color Trend Report; a color overview highlighting the top colors fashion designers showing at Fashion Week will be featuring in their collections for the upcoming season.

For this year’s new colors, our focus was on autumnal hues, vibrant colors with a mix of classic tones.

From poppy red to sea green and everything in between, we can color match to meet your needs!

We are currently the only manufacturers in Peru who go to these extreme lengths to standardize and improve the quality of the raw material.
