LUXURY BLENDS
Natural combinations that elevate every fiber.
In some of our collections, we utilize yarns made from carefully selected blends of natural fibers, including Baby Alpaca, silk, Merino wool, and Pima cotton. These blends enhance the texture, feel, and character of each piece.
Additionally, we incorporate blends that contain a small percentage of polyamide (between 10% and 25%). This is added primarily to improve resistance and structure without compromising the garment’s softness or natural feel.
In all our blends, natural fibers account for 75% to 90% of the total composition, ensuring durability, comfort, and a lower environmental impact.
• Laguna Sweater – 60% Baby Alpaca, 40% Pima Cotton
• Salineras Sweater – 52% Baby Alpaca, 30% Superfine Alpaca, 12% polyamide, 7% Merino Wool
WHY NATURAL FIBERS?
Natural fibers, such as alpaca and Peruvian
cotton, are better for the planet, the people who wear them, and the
communities that produce them. These fibers come from renewable sources and
require fewer chemical processes, which significantly reduces their
environmental impact. Unlike synthetic materials, natural fibers do not release
microplastics and are biodegradable at the end of their lifecycle.
The quality and durability of these
materials allow us to create pieces that transcend seasonal trends. They are
breathable, gentle on the skin, long-lasting, and age beautifully.
By choosing natural fibers, we honor the
agricultural and textile traditions that have been passed down for generations
in Peru. Working with locally sourced materials not only reduces our carbon
footprint but also strengthens rural economies and values the expertise of
those who cultivate and transform these fibers.
This choice goes beyond aesthetics; it
represents a commitment to the earth and its people.
