Alpaca white ponchos and pelerinas

White

You have selected products in white color or products where white predominates. We also include products in light cream shades. White is a neutral shade and can be suitably combined with all other colors. But watch out for the combination of different shades of white. Less pronounced white shades will look gray and drab in combination with bright white. White is the color of purity, cleanliness and neutrality. White means new beginnings, freshness and innocence. The color white also has a calming effect. It is not surprising that many cultures associate the color with goodness and positive things. For example, in China and Japan, white represents luck and happiness. The bride wears white on her wedding day, which symbolizes her purity. White is also seen as a sign of freshness (think milk or freshly fallen snow), which can give products an appealingly clean appearance. When it comes to interior design or fashion choices, white can create a feeling of spaciousness or cleanliness – perfect for small apartments or cluttered closets! The color white can convey simplicity and sophistication at the same time.

Alpaca

The Alpaca wool is derived from the domesticated South American alpaca llama. Compared to classic sheep wool, it is softer, warmer and softer. Among their other positive properties - it is hypoallergenic and has excellent thermal insulation properties. Alpaca is one of the rarest and highest quality types of natural wool, which is reflected in its price and availability. Color shades were obtained by gradual breeding of differently colored breeds of alpaca. Most luxury Alpaca products are not dyed in this way, but they are natural shades. Alpacas have long been a source of fiber for Peruvians and other South American peoples, but in recent years, alpaca fiber has begun to enjoy increased popularity in the fashion world. Alpaca is similar to wool but is warmer, not prickly, and does not contain lanolin, making it hypoallergenic. In addition, alpaca fibers come in many natural colors, from white to black and every shade in between. Alpacas are part of the Camelid family which includes camels, llamas and vicunas. There are two types of alpacas – the huacaya (pronounced "wah-kai-ya"), which makes up about 90% of the population with its short dense crimpy fleece and the suri (pronounced "suh-ree"), prized for its longer silky locks. A baby alpaca is called a cria (pronounced "kree-uh"). Suri alpacas were nearly extinct at one time but their numbers have increased due largely to improved breeding practices. The softness of alpaca fiber rivals that of cashmere yet it is also strong and durable. It insulates well against both heat and cold making it ideal for sweaters, hats, gloves and scarves – perfect winter wear! And because it wicks moisture away from the skin so effectively, it is also excellent for summer garments such as light weight shirts and yoga pants. The possibilities are endless when it comes to fashioning stylish clothing items out of this versatile fiber!
