Crafting Ethical Knitwear: Our Partnership with a Women-Owned Co-op in Puno, Peru

At the heart of our textile company lies a commitment to ethical production, and our collaboration with a women-owned knitting cooperative in Puno, Peru reflects this core value. Nestled in the Andes, the women in this cooperative bring generations of skill and craftsmanship to their work, using only the finest baby alpaca yarn for our knitwear.

Why Baby Alpaca Yarn?

Baby alpaca is one of the most luxurious and sustainable fibers available. It’s soft, warm, and incredibly durable, offering the perfect blend of comfort and style. But more than that, it’s eco-friendly. The alpacas that provide this yarn are sheared annually, a process that’s not only sustainable but also beneficial for the animals. By working exclusively with baby alpaca, we ensure that each piece of knitwear is created with care for both the environment and the animals.

Collaboration Built on Respect

Our collaboration with the women artisans in Puno is essential to our process. Their craftsmanship and knowledge are invaluable—without their expertise, we simply couldn’t create the beautiful products we offer. The intricate work they produce comes from a deep understanding of traditional techniques, passed down through generations, combined with a dedication to quality that shows in every piece.

Handcrafted Excellence

Every item produced by the co-op is a testament to the skill of these artisans. They use traditional methods that are woven into the culture and history of the Andes, creating products that blend heritage with modern design. Each knitwear piece tells a story of care, attention, and a remarkable level of artistry.

Shared Values, Shared Vision

We are deeply proud of our collaboration, which goes beyond a simple business partnership. It's built on mutual respect and a shared commitment to sustainability and ethical production. By supporting these artisans, we not only help preserve important cultural traditions, but we also ensure that the highest standards of craftsmanship continue to thrive.

Thank you for being a part of this story. Each product you choose represents the artistry of these incredible women, and your support allows their work to reach beyond the Andes, connecting their heritage to the global market.
