Find out more about ALPACAS

by Alfredo Gama on December 08, 2022

Today, a world worried about the climate and its supportability has the chance to be aware and grasp the significance of Alpacas and their fiber.

We want to present the "WHY ALPACA" idea to help a lot of people understand how Alpacas help the environment and keep it healthy.

Numerous luxury brands have chosen alpaca to produce high-quality fashion garments because of its unique properties. But alpaca clothing has more meaning than just that.


The alpaca fiber fineness, which ranges from 18 to more than 35 microns, enables the production of a wide range of goods, from extremely thin and light goods to thick blankets with superior thermal performance.

The pasture is not damaged by alpaca feet.

Alpacas have two toes with toenails on top and a soft pad on the bottom of each foot, which minimizes their impact on pastureland, as opposed to goats and sheep, which have sharp hooves that damage soil and pasture. To put it another way, alpacas do not disturb the grass system, preserving the soil and their habitat.

Alpacas do not make use of the water or land intended for the production of food.

Alpacas live in altitudes of approximately 3,800 meters above sea level. The land is generally unsuitable for agriculture and the water supply is natural at this altitude. Because of this, alpacas are better for the environment than any other fiber-producing livestock, which frequently significantly contributes to serious environmental issues. Additionally, vegetable fibers pose a threat to the environment. In Australia, for instance, it takes 2,830 liters of water to produce 1 kilogram of cotton.

Alpacas are kind to the land. Alpacas are particularly efficient because they require less food than most other livestock that produce fiber. To produce 1 kilogram of clean fiber, cashmere goats, for instance, require at least twice as much dry grass as alpacas do.
