Handwoven in Peru
Regular price CHF 132.90Our handmade oversized scarf is crafted from 100% undyed baby alpaca wool, that is processed into a fine yarn after the alpacas have been combed out. This undyed state, guarantees the garment an absolute softness and comfort, thanks to the absence of any chemical dyeing process. Produced in small batches and meticulously handloomed in our artisans' workshop in Peru, each scarf takes up to 2 full days to be completed, reflecting our slow fashion philosophy. Our handlooms operate without the use of electricity, allowing us to create these scarves in harmony with the environment and using timeless techniques.
Once the scarf is woven, our artisans meticulously add unique details- dedicate baby alpaca fiber incrustations, carefully hand-selected before the fiber is being spun into a yarn and carefully positioned by hand on the scarf. This rare technique allow us to incorporate alpaca fibers in their natural form. These final touches make each scarf a distinctive expression of craftsmanship and tradition .A curious and interesting fact: The term "baby alpaca" wool refers to the wool fiber that comes from the first shearing of an alpaca, and not to the age of the animal itself. The first shearing is done when the alpaca reaches adulthood at the age of 3 years old. This makes baby alpaca fiber exceptionally fine and soft, making it a highly valued material for high-quality garments Do you want to know more about de design of this scarf?
