Our Story
Welcome to Alpaca Me
Where luxury meets nature in the form of exquisite clothing crafted from the finest, natural Alpaca fibers. Our website is a haven for those who appreciate the beauty of sustainable fashion and the artistry of handcrafted garments, with a special focus on the rich heritage of Peru.
1983: The Beginning
Founded in 1983, Alpaca Me was born from a deep love for Alpaca wool and a passion for preserving the rich textile traditions of Peru. Our founders were inspired by the softness, durability, and warmth of Alpaca fibers, recognizing their potential to create luxury garments that are both stylish and eco-friendly.
1990: Commitment to Sustainability
From the start, we have been committed to sustainability. In 1990, we officially adopted eco-friendly practices, ensuring that our production processes were kind to the environment. Our dedication to using natural Alpaca fibers not only highlights the beauty of these materials but also supports the sustainable fashion movement.
2000: Supporting Local Artisans
As our company grew, so did our commitment to the communities in Peru. By 2000, we established partnerships with local artisans, providing them with fair wages and working conditions. The intricate detailing and skilled techniques employed in crafting our clothes are a nod to the age-old traditions passed down through generations.
2010: Expanding Our Collection
In 2010, we expanded our collection to include a diverse range of Alpaca clothing. From cozy sweaters and scarves to sophisticated dresses and accessories, each item in our collection is a labor of love, highlighting the natural beauty of Alpaca fibers and the dedication of the talented artisans who bring them to life.
2020: Launching Our Website
To make our exquisite garments accessible to a global audience, we launched our user-friendly website in 2020. Here, customers can explore our collections, discover the stories behind each creation, and learn about the faces of the skilled individuals involved. Our website is more than just a store; it’s a journey through the heart of Peru, where tradition and modernity seamlessly intertwine.
