In the heart of the Andes, you can see how a remarkable creature known as the alpaca roams the rugged terrain. Revered by ancient civilizations and cherished by modern-day artisans, alpaca fiber has earned its place as one of the most exquisite and sustainable fibers on Earth. Join us as we dive into the captivating world of alpaca – the “Fibers of the Gods.”

A Royal Heritage

The history of alpacas is intertwined with legends of divine origins. Revered by the ancient Inca civilization, these gentle beings were considered sacred animals, treasured for their luxurious fleece, which was reserved exclusively for Inca royalty. With fibers so fine and coveted, it’s no wonder that alpaca became known as the “Fibers of the Gods.”

Incas treasured them as an integral part of their civilization. They represented them in a legend in which the gods deposited the alpacas on Mount Ausangate, Peru. They would remain on Earth as long as humanity treated them with kindness and respect.

Nature’s Elegance

Alpaca fibers boast a natural elegance that sets them apart. Soft, lightweight, therm-regulating, and hypoallergenic, these fibers offer the ultimate indulgence for discerning fashion enthusiasts. Unlike other animal fibers, alpaca is lanolin-free, making it naturally hypoallergenic and environmentally friendly.

A Sustainable Marvel

Sustainability lies at the core of alpaca fiber. Alpacas graze gently, causing minimal damage to the Andean highlands, making them environmentally conscious creatures. As renewable resources, alpacas grow a new fleece annually, ensuring a continuous and sustainable supply of this exquisite fiber. At Tukuy, we are committed to reducing water usage and avoiding harmful chemicals with our natural color products. This also makes any accessory a unique peace and extremely sustainable.

Versatility and Versatility

From luxurious scarves to elegant shawls and warm blankets, alpaca fiber lends itself to a wide range of applications. Its versatility allows artisans to create unique and exquisite pieces that showcase the natural beauty of this exceptional fiber.
