✨ Features
- 🧣 Ultra-plush alpaca fiber: 89% Alpaca + 11% Polyamide — softer than cashmere, warmer than lamb's wool, with a natural silky luster

- 🤝 Handmade in Peru: Crafted by artisan farmers using traditional methods passed down through generations
- 💧 Low-pill finish: Alpaca's fiber structure means it holds its appearance wash after wash

🌎 The Artisan Story
Alpaca has been woven into Peruvian culture since the time of the Incas, who valued the fiber more than gold or silver. The knowledge and craft of spinning and knitting has passed from generation to generation, and the artisans behind this scarf carry that heritage forward — blending traditional techniques with contemporary patterns. The alpacas graze freely across the Andean highlands, their soft padded feet leaving the terrain undisturbed. It's a process that's gentle on the animals, the land, and the communities who depend on it.
