Inca Heritage and Alpaca Connection:
In the earliest pages of Peruvian history, the bond between the Incas and alpaca emerges. Valued even more than gold or silver during the Inca empire, alpaca was reserved for royalty due to its unparalleled quality. Craftsmanship in spinning and knitting has been an enduring tradition, resulting in Peru's rich textile heritage. Allpa seamlessly blends new patterns with traditional methods, offering innovative creations while honoring ethical values.
Alpaca's Natural Brilliance:
Alpacas roam freely in the highlands of the Peruvian Andes, untouched during the shearing process. Their gentle impact on the environment is evident in their soft padded feet, preserving the grass terrain. Alpaca, the sole producer of up to 28 natural colors, offers a spectrum ranging from inky black to warm chestnuts and snowy white. With a featherweight feel, alpaca is supple, smooth, and ultra-light, surpassing cashmere in softness and outperforming lamb's wool in warmth and strength. This completely natural fiber maintains its natural luster, devoid of harsh chemicals in production.
Embrace the legacy of Inca heritage and the brilliance of alpaca craftsmanship with our handcrafted products, a testament to the timeless connection between artistry and sustainability.
