Each blanket features unique and vibrant designs adding beauty and colour to every room.
Alpaca wool is known to be a "super fibre" as it is naturally hypoallergenic, durable yet soft, breathable yet water resistant and highly insulative being one of the warmest animal fibres in existence. The Andean peoples have used Alpaca wool for centuries keeping warm and dry in the rough and fast changing mountain climate.
With your purchase you are supporting the indigenous communities of Ecuador and Peru that have been hit incredibly hard by the pandemic. While tourism is normally their main income stream, the Andean artisans belong to the world's most skilled weavers with traditional weaving techniques handed down through the generations. Generating income and preserving traditional production techniques using Alpaca wool is crucial to ensure social prosperity and improving livelihoods for these often marginalised communities.
