alpaca to the apparel
100% UK Alpaca Fibre Now and Always
At Alpaca Apparel we oversee the entire journey from the #alpacatotheapparel. The road begins at shearing which we do annually in May. The fleece is then sorted and sent to our trusted mill in Northern Ireland. It is then processed using 100% renewable electricity, blended in to unique, undyed yarn and spun on to biodegradable cones. It is then sent to Leicester where our simple, stylish designs are brought to life on knit machines. The process is followed at all stages, is UK based and completely sustainable. We believe in keeping the natural beauty and luxury of the alpaca fleece and are so proud of our products. Our passion for crafting exquisite alpaca knitwear is matched by the love we have for these gentle creatures.
our quality promise
Our Commitment To Pure Alpaca Luxury
Every piece of clothing at Alpaca Apparel is a sustainably made masterpiece of 100% UK alpaca fleece. This luxury fibre, sourced from our very own alpaca herd and select partner farms, ensures that our creations are not only sumptuously soft but also durable and eco-friendly. We believe in the inherent goodness of nature, and our commitment to using only UK alpaca fleece underscores our dedication to providing you with clothing that is both ethical and exceptional.
who we are
Our Story
Founded in 2021 by model Claire Turner, Alpaca Apparel was born out of a profound connection to nature and a desire to offer an alternative to mass-produced fashion. Our journey began with a handful of alpacas on our small holding in the New Forest, and as our herd grew, we determined the unparalleled beauty and potential of their fleece. Infused with a spirit of innovation and respect for natural produce and sustainability, Claire embarked on a path to create limited edition knitwear that embodies the timeless allure of luxury alpaca fleece.
micro production and unique colourways
Bespoke Apparel
Our alpaca yarns are not dyed, and this creates two benefits – a reduction in environmental impact and an ability to create unique natural colours. The bespoke nature of the business also ensures the exclusivity of the product. Alpaca Apparel will never create more than 20 items of each design. Furthermore, we will never recreate the exact same colourways year on year due to the increase of variety of animals to the herd. You can be safe in the knowledge that your Alpaca Apparel is a unique luxury piece of clothing that can last you a lifetime.
