Why Alpaca Wool?
Alpacas have been part of life in the South American Andes for centuries. Their fibers are valued for their softness, natural luster, and temperature-regulating properties. A sweater made from pure alpaca wool can provide warmth without necessarily having the heavy structure of a chunky winter sweater. The actual warmth provided depends on the knit density, outdoor temperature, and personal perception.
Unlike blended fabrics, the Arequipa is stated to be made entirely from alpaca. The natural fiber has a distinctive feel and can be worn for many seasons with proper care. Minor variations in surface texture and feel are possible with natural animal fibers.
Simple Style for Many Occasions
The crew neck makes Arequipa an easy-to-style piece. Worn over a T-shirt, it creates a casual outfit; worn over a shirt or blouse, it looks slightly more formal. The white version adds a bright, understated accent and can be paired with dark or earthy colors. Green pairs particularly well with beige, gray, and denim. The understated cut puts the texture of the material at the center.

Fit Notes
Arequipa is designed as a unisex model. Since sizes can vary depending on the cut and manufacturer, the choice should not be based solely on your usual clothing size. No verified size chart with chest width, sleeve length, and total length is available for this offer. The exact fit therefore cannot be stated with certainty. The currently available options are both marked as size M.
Caring for Alpaca Wool
Gentle hand washing at a maximum of 30°C is recommended for the sweater. Use a suitable wool detergent and avoid vigorous rubbing or wringing. Carefully press out excess water and lay the sweater flat to dry so that the knit does not stretch out of shape. Do not bleach, tumble dry, iron at high temperatures, or dry clean. Also follow the care label on the delivered garment.
Important Information
Alpaca wool is a natural animal fiber. Although it contains relatively little lanolin, this does not mean it is generally hypoallergenic. People with sensitive skin should consider their individual tolerance. Color differences between the screen and the original product are possible. The available options and stock may change.
