Our alpaca capes are made through a meticulous process that involves shearing, sorting and spinning the alpaca wool before it is finally transformed into this beautiful cape by expert weavers. This process guarantees that each piece is unique and bears the signature of the artisan who made it.
The handmade nature of our products is not only a sign of quality, but also a tribute to the centuries-old traditions of the alpaca weavers in the Andes. On our blog you can learn more about how our handmade alpaca products are made and what makes them so unique.

Our alpaca capes are not only known for their visual beauty, but also for their durability and longevity.

The Art of Weaving with alpaca wool
The making of our alpaca capes is a craft that has been perfected for centuries. These skills are passed down from generation to generation and are an integral part of the culture in the Andes.
Each of our alpaca capes is handmade, making each piece unique. This handcrafted approach allows us to achieve a high level of detail and quality that is often lacking in industrially manufactured products.
The weaving process itself is time-consuming and requires a lot of patience and skill. The alpaca wool is first cleaned and sorted before being spun into yarn. The yarn is then dyed using only natural dyes and woven on a traditional loom. This process can take several days to weeks, depending on the complexity of the design.
This meticulous production creates a product that not only looks beautiful, but can also stand the test of time. To learn more about handmade alpaca products and the art of our weavers, visit our blog pages.
