Despite its soft touch, alpaca fiber is strong and durable. With the proper care, your alpaca garments can last a lifetime. And because alpaca fibers are naturally antimicrobial and moisture-wicking you can have multiple wears without washing as frequently as synthetic materials.

We all have choices to make when we buy clothing. When you choose to invest in things made from natural, sustainable fibers you’re choosing to keep unnecessary textile waste out of landfills. You’re also choosing to invest in building a more sustainable and equitable clothing industry. Caring for your clothes so they last longer is a great way to think socially and environmentally in the little things we do.
