The wool of our pullover comes from Alpacas that live freely in the Andes of Peru. They are trimmed once a year with respect to strict guidelines protecting their well-being – an aspect that is of uppermost importance to us as the well-being of the animals is an absolut priority for us. Oh and interesting to know is that the term “baby-alpaca” doesn’t refer to the wool of baby alpacas but describes the particularly warm and soft underhair of adult alpacas.
Now you might think: sounds great, but why don’t you produce the pullover in India, as usual? The main reason is that (until now) we couldn’t find any wool-knit-wear producers that matched our sustainability requirements. Hence, we decided to collaborate with the Swiss-Peruvian lable
Jungle Folk whose knit wear is handmade by a Peruvian initiative supporting women.
