We may be biased but we think our alpacas and their fantastic fleece are amazing! They give so much joy to us just by being themselves. AND we get so much joy from creating beautiful products from their fleece that contributes to a more sustainable fashion future.
Here’s why……
Natural and Chemical-Free
Alpaca fibre is harvested annually through shearing, a process that typically doesn't involve harsh chemicals. Unlike sheep's wool, which contains lanolin and often requires chemical treatment, alpaca fibre is naturally lanolin-free. This characteristic not only makes the fibre hypoallergenic but also eliminates the need for chemical processing, further enhancing its eco-friendly profile.
Durability and Longevity
Sustainability in fashion isn't just about production; it's also about longevity. Alpaca fibre excels in this aspect, known for its exceptional quality, softness, and durability. Garments made from alpaca fibre tend to last longer, reducing the need for frequent replacements and lowering overall consumption. This durability contributes to a more sustainable approach to fashion, encouraging a "buy less, buy better" mentality.
Biodegradability
At the end of its lifecycle, pure alpaca fibre is fully biodegradable. This means that when an alpaca garment is no longer wearable, it can return to the earth without leaving a lasting environmental impact. In contrast, many synthetic fibres persist in the environment for decades or even centuries.
Alpaca fibre stands out as a beacon of sustainability in the textile industry. From its low environmental impact during production to its biodegradability at the end of its life, alpaca fibre offers a holistic approach to sustainable fashion. As consumers become increasingly aware of the environmental implications of their clothing choices, alpaca fibre provides an excellent option for those seeking to combine luxury, performance, and eco-consciousness. By choosing alpaca fibre, we not only dress ourselves in a superior natural material but also contribute to a more sustainable future for fashion. As we move towards more responsible consumption, alpaca fibre represents a step in the right direction – a choice that's as kind to the planet as it is comfortable to wear.
