Vicuna, Guanaco and Royal Alpaca: Finest Fibers
AlpaLuxe is committed to continuing the ancient tradition of the finest weaving and knits from Peru, South America. AlpaLuxe’s collection of exceptional shawls, wraps, scarves and hats are a culmination of many years of experience in men’s and women’s fashion, since 1980.
AlpaLuxe exclusively carries Vicuna, Guanaco and Royal Alpaca. All three fibers are elegant while functional; hypoallergenic, non-irritating, naturally lustrous and silky soft.
Vicuña is the finest, softest and most exclusive natural fiber in the world, considerably finer, silkier and lighter than Cashmere or Angora. Guanaco’s soft fibers are finer than the best Cashmere and second only to Vicuna. Vicuna and Guanaco fleece is light, incredibly warm, and lustrous. Exquisite wooden boxes encase each rare Vicuna or Guanaco shawl, scarf or cape from AlpaLuxe. They also make a great gift as well as a prestigious corporate gift.
Royal Alpaca is the rarest, consisting of the very first and finest shear of the Baby Alpaca and represents just 1% of all the Alpaca Fiber produced in the world. Only the very top quality is carefully selected by AlpaLuxe. Fashionable and luxurious AlpaLuxe’s accessories enhance any garment. Each one is beautifully made, whether it is a Chullo, (Ear-flap Hat), an elegant Cape or a beautiful bolt of Vicuna fabric in the hands of a tailor.

Vargas Llosa: Nobel Prize for Literature, 2010.
Vargas LLosa, originally from Arequipa, Peru is currently teaching a semester in Princeton and the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize in Literature. When he was young he thought: "Latin America seemed to be a land where there were only dictators, revolutionaries, catastrophes. Now we know that Latin America can produce also artists, musicians, painters, thinkers, and novelists." AlpaLuxe is proud!

Vicuna garments in China
Pablo Zegna, CEO of Zegna Group, said Chinese consumers are the best buyers of Peruvian vicuña wool garments, reported Andina.
According to the executive of the men's luxury clothing company Ermenegildo Zegna, Chinese buyers are willing to pay up to US$ 20,000 for vicuña wool garments.
“The garments made with Peruvian vicuña wool are highly demanded in the best markets of the world, even China pays more than the United States for these products,” he stated.
Zegna explained that Peruvian vicuña wool is highly sought-after in the international market since it is considered a rare or exotic product.
“In the United States, a blanket made from vicuña wool may cost US$ 8,000, a jacket US$ 15,000, and coats can cost US$ 18,000,” he detailed.
Ermenegildo Zegna was established in 1910 in the Milan, Italy and currently has more than 525 stores around the world.
Zegna met with President Alan García to assess the project carried out by Ermenegildo Zegna Group in the community of Picotani, Puno, where they buy some of the vicuña wool.

Peru : A Splendid History of Textiles
Peru has a rich history of textiles: From Wool, Tweed, Feathers, Spidery Thin Yarns, Embroidery and many more exquisite Pre-Inca to Post-Inca superb samples.
One of my favorite places to see Chancay textiles is at the Museo Amano in Miraflores, Lima.
A wonderful small museum with exquisite pieces.
Alpaluxe also is proud of its tradition of promoting textiles with its shawls and scarves made from the finest fibers of Vicuna, Guanaco and Alpaca.
Featured is an original gouache inspired by textiles. You can find it under "Sets & Gifts" on our website: www.alpaluxe.com
