🏔️ About the Makers

Allpa works with 80 small to mid-size workshops across Peru, supporting artisans with training, technical assistance, and access to global markets. Their mission is to preserve Peruvian textile culture while turning skilled weavers into independent entrepreneurs.

Alpaca has been prized since the time of the Incas — reserved for royalty and valued above all other fibers. Today, alpaca is still considered one of the world's finest natural materials. The animals roam freely in the Peruvian highlands and are not harmed during shearing. Their soft-padded feet protect the grasslands they graze, and they produce up to 28 natural colors — no harsh dyes needed.
