Crafted from the rarest natural black alpaca wool in the world, each piece in this collection embodies over a decade of research and dedication to sustainability, tradition, and the empowerment of indigenous herding communities in the Peruvian Andes. This pure natural fibre - valued more than gold by the ancient Incas - represents the finest quality and our philosophy of Positive Luxury.
