✨ Features
- 🧣 Coastal Stripe Design: A classic striped pattern on the front with a soft, fuzzy underside — versatile enough to wear dressed up or down.
- 🌿 Premium Alpaca Fiber: Made from 80% alpaca and 11% polyamide — silky, lightweight, and naturally insulating without the bulk.
- 📏 Generous Size: Measures 74" x 12", giving you plenty of length to wrap, drape, or loop however you like.
- 🤲 Hand-Loomed & One-of-a-Kind: Each scarf is handmade, meaning slight variations in color and pattern make yours completely unique.
- 🇵🇪 Handmade in Peru: Crafted by artisan workshops across Peru through Allpa, a social enterprise supporting weavers with fair wages, training, and loans.
- ♻️ Naturally Sustainable: Alpaca fiber requires no harsh chemicals in production. Alpacas roam freely in the Peruvian Andes highlands and are not harmed during shearing.

🌟 About the Maker
This scarf is made through Allpa, a Peruvian social enterprise that partners with 80 small and mid-size artisan workshops across the country. Allpa develops market-ready collections while providing weavers with technical support, training, and financial access — helping transform skilled craftspeople into entrepreneurs with a place in the global marketplace.
Alpaca has been prized in Peru since the time of the Incas, when it was reserved exclusively for royalty. Today, it remains one of the most sustainable and ethically harvested natural fibers in the world. Alpacas are sheared without harm, their padded feet leave the highland terrain undisturbed, and the fiber itself is produced in up to 28 natural colors — no harsh dyes required.
