Alpacas have a naturally low environmental impact. Their soft, padded feet are gentle on the ground, helping to protect pastures, and they graze efficiently without destroying root systems. Alpacas also require significantly less water than many other fibre-producing animals. Combined with their ability to thrive in harsh climates, alpaca fibre is recognised as one of the most sustainable luxury materials available.

Yes. Our alpaca garments are produced using ethically sourced fibre from trusted farms that prioritise animal welfare. Alpacas are shorn annually — a process that, when carried out correctly, keeps them healthy and comfortable. We work only with suppliers who maintain responsible, humane practices throughout their production.

Alpaca fibre is completely natural and biodegradable. When a garment reaches the end of its life, the fibre will break down naturally over time, returning nutrients to the soil without releasing harmful chemicals. This makes alpaca clothing a strong choice for those looking to minimise long-term environmental impact.

Unlike synthetic fabrics, alpaca releases no microplastics into the environment. It is a renewable resource, naturally breathable and able to regulate temperature effectively — keeping you warm without overheating. Alpaca also has excellent durability, meaning garments last longer and require fewer replacements, reducing overall waste.

Alpaca garments should be washed gently and only when necessary, as the fibre is naturally odour-resistant. Hand washing in cool water or using a delicate machine cycle is recommended, followed by drying flat. Proper care not only preserves the softness and structure of the garment but also reduces energy and water use.

Our packaging materials have been carefully chosen with sustainability in mind. Wherever possible, we use recyclable, biodegradable or responsibly sourced packaging to minimise waste without compromising protection during delivery.

Yes — we are working towards (or currently offer in some cases) a take-back initiative that allows customers to return worn alpaca garments for recycling, repurposing or responsible disposal. This supports a more circular approach to fashion and reduces the amount of material sent to landfill.
