Why Sustainable Materials Like Baby Alpaca Are the Future of Fashion
Baby Alpaca - the sustainable choice of wool
The way we think about fashion has been changing over the past few years. Consumers now want clothing that cares for both people and the planet.
We are seeking more eco-friendly and ethical choices, which include ethical production and sustainable, natural materials. One of the most promising fibres leading this change is baby alpaca wool.
Unlike synthetic fibres, baby alpaca wool comes straight from the alpacas of the high-altitude Andes mountains of Peru.
Baby alpaca doesn’t mean wool from baby animals. It’s the first shear of the alpaca, producing the softest, finest fibres the animal will ever grow. Lightweight, silky, and hypoallergenic, baby alpaca is prized for its luxury feel and natural sustainability.
Alpacas live lightly on the land, with soft padded feet that don’t damage the grasslands and a diet that requires far less water and space than other livestock.
They are able to live in high altitude plains where agriculture crops cannot grow, making use of this unused space.
