Our Story
From the Highlands of Peru, With Love
Alpacaya began with a simple idea:
What if the softest thing you’ve ever touched could also carry a story — of culture, craftsmanship, and care?
While travelling through the Sacred Valley, we were captivated by the textures, colours, and traditions of Andean life. The warmth of the people. The richness of their textiles. The quiet luxury of baby alpaca fur, and the way something handmade feels different — more meaningful, more alive.
We knew we had to share it.
A Bridge Between Worlds
Alpacaya is a celebration of the artistry of Peru and the values of conscious living.
We partner with skilled artisans in and around Cusco, working closely with families and cooperatives who carry generations of knowledge in their hands. Every product we create is rooted in their stories — and made to bring joy, comfort, and soul into your everyday life.
From our studio to your doorstep, we honour:
-
🌿 Sustainability – no alpacas are harmed, and our materials are fully natural
-
🧵 Fair trade – our artisans are paid fairly for their time and talent
-
🎨 Heritage – every design reflects the vibrant identity of the Andes
Why Alpacaya?
The name Alpacaya is a tribute to the animal at the heart of it all: the gentle, graceful alpaca.
Soft, resilient, and native to the Andes, the alpaca reminds us that luxury and kindness can go hand in hand.
Today, Alpacaya is proud to share a collection of slippers, bags, and gifts that bring together comfort and culture, design and dignity — made slowly, and made to last.
Thank you for walking this journey with us.
We’re honoured to share it with you.
