NATURAL HIGH-PERFORMANCE

Functional Quick-Drying Wool Vest Top

For thousands of years, alpacas have been adapting to extreme environments of the Andes Mountains, where temperatures range widely. The harsh highland conditions created the ultimate outdoor fiber, designed to keep you protected, clean, and comfortable.

Designed for the Outdoors
  • Perfect Temperature
    Semi-hollow fibers act as an internal A/C, balancing your body temperature in extreme climates.
  • Always Dry
    High moisture-wicking fibers keep your body and clothes dry and sweat-free all day.
  • Clean & Fresh
    Naturally anti-bacterial & odor resistant keratin fibers ensure your hygiene.
Go Further, Pack Lighter

Alpaca Wool is lightweight and does not require frequent laundering, letting you explore lighter.

  • Light & Durable
    Semi-hollow core fibers insulate and make the fabric lighter and resistant.
  • Wear More, Wash Less
    Alpaca dries quickly and absorbs minimal moisture, preventing bacterial growth.
Luxurious Softness
  • Smooth Fiber Scales
    The scales of alpaca fibers are smoother than those of sheep wool. They help wick moisture away, while also having incredibly low moisture absorption. 
  • 18 to 19 Microns* Alpaca Wool
    The finest Alpaca Wool with naturally smooth fiber scales minimize felting and ensure luxurious softness on your skin without itching.

*Microns define the diameter of the fiber.

ALPACA WOOL: FIBER OF THE GODS

The Superior Fiber for the Outdoors

Zero Microplastics & Toxic Chemicals

We created 100% plastic-free and biodegradable shirts so that you can wear your clothes knowing that you are not releasing any microplastics.

Microplastics are not only found in the environment but also in our bloodstream.

Our naturally dyed shirts contain zero synthetic dyes and we are looking for a natural replacement for the silicone fabric finishing.
Our wool is never Superwashed since alpaca fibers are naturally smooth.

Free-Roaming Andean Alpacas

Alpacas roam freely in their natural habitat in the highlands of Peru. Their farmers never harm or kill them for their wool. Alpacas create small footprints that do not damage the fields they graze on. When they eat, they cut the grass, promoting regrowth.

SINGLE ORIGIN SUPPLY CHAIN

Where Was This Vest Top Made?

We use natural local resources and a short transparent supply chain. Our mission is to teach you as much as possible about how clothes should be made. Together we can move the fashion industry towards a sustainable future.

Designed & Made in One Country: Peru

Contrary to industry norms, every step involved in making our clothes is done in only one country: Peru, the home of our family. Our production in Peru includes fiber sourcing, yarn spinning, fabric knitting, dyeing, finishing, and garment sewing.

From Peru, our clothes go straight to California or Europe on its journey to you.

Low Carbon Footprint

Manufacturing in one country allows us to greatly reduce our carbon footprint and freight shipping. This is a major step on our journey to becoming a carbon negative company.

Transparency & Traceability

We avoid industrial farming by working with co-op farmers in the Andes. Doing everything in Peru guarantees we know how the alpacas and the workers involved are being treated.

Get your company in order before you ask for reviews!

I have had numerous emails regarding everything BUT the whereabouts of my tank top that I ordered way back in November! I have consistently tried to find out any info that anyone may have but to no avail - not one single answer to any one of my inquiring emails. I PAID for it and have not received it as of 1 Jan and no one in their company has had the decency to respond to my requests to word on where it is, or for a refund since it looks like I won’t be receiving it. Their business structure looks shaky due to the emails I received early on regarding production, dying problems (colors not coming out as they would like, etc), new return procedures. I will not ever again order from them and make certain to not be putting any good review of them to anyone looking for alpaca clothing - there are other, more established & organized companies! 1January 2024

It is so lovely!

It is so lovely! I've been wearing it for days.

It is both smooth, butterysoft, and actually has a tiny bit of scratchiness, as someone with sensitive skin, that I only notice when it's touching a mosquito bite. That might be a little more than you want to know, but that's my very detailed noticing.
