Fibre
The alpacas are responsibly farmed in the Peruvian highlands, where the yarn is also spun and dyed. Thanks to their soft hooves and gentle feeding habits, alpacas have a light impact on the land on which they graze.
Our premium-quality silk is sourced in China.
Fabric
Our soft and distinctive brushed bouclé alpaca and silk yarn is specially developed to avoid the use of synthetic materials. Textured bouclé yarns are typically spun with synthetic threads to help maintain their structure, but in our yarn, these are replaced with pure silk filaments, preserving the natural beauty of the fibres while creating a beautifully tactile texture. The brushed bouclé knitwear is lightweight, exceptionally soft and warm, offering a luxurious feel with a beautifully textured finish. Each panel is knitted to the shape of the garment, reducing yarn waste. The panels and trims are then attached using a hand-linking machine, resulting in a beautifully finished, premium quality garment.
Factory
One of our newest knitwear suppliers is located in Peru. We chose to work with them because of their excellent skills, drawn from centuries of tradition using materials such as alpaca, cotton and wool, all of which are available locally.
