Nothing like "the best fiber" does not exist. Every material does have some pros and cons. But we have chosen for our production alpaca fiber, because of lot's of pros and not so many cons. As you can see HERE, there are many pros. The main are quality, thermal properties, softness, durability... These are very important for good apparel, so we've decided for alpaca.

Materials used in our products are: alpaca wool (mainly), BIO cotton for labels and for sewing, recycled paper for handtags, packaging
In order for your alpaca clothes to last as long as possible in perfect condition, we recommend dry cleaning (using any solvent EXCEPT tetrachlorethylene).
Some of our products can also be washed in a washing machine - on the program for "very delicate laundry" or "hand wash". Maximum water temperature 30 degrees.
As alpaca wool is odour resistant, antibacterial and stain resistant, there is no need to wash our products so often as other materials like cotton, linen, viscose, merino...
Dry cleaning is allowed too.

Avoid using dryer.
The best way how to dry alpaca wool is to dry it flat (not hanging because it causes loosing of its original shape), in shade.
More informations find in our CARE INSTRUCTIONS.
Yes, it is OK to use COLD (low temperature setting, up to 110° Celsius/230 Fahrenheit) iron on alpaca garments.
If your garment is little shrinked, we recommend to lay it flat on straight surface or hang it somewhere (only when garment is DRY) for a while and it will go back to nice shape without any shrink signs.
More informations find in our CARE INSTRUCTIONS.
By proper storage of alpaca products you must take care about 2 things.
1. garments must be absolutely and perfect dry before storage - to avoid occur any mold.
2. put your alpaca garment in some properly closed case - to avoid moths get to the alpaca garment.

In Andean jewel we take care about our supply chain. So our suppliers do have:
GOTS certification (The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) has a clearly defined set of criteria and is transparent. GOTS is the worldwide leading textile processing standard for organic fibres, including ecological and social criteria, backed up by independent certification of the entire textile supply chain), R-A-S Responsible alpaca standard, R-W-S Responsible wool standard, Oekotex 100 certification (STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® is one of the world's best-known labels for textiles tested for harmful substances. It stands for customer confidence and high product safety), set standards for shearing technique as national standard (INCA ESQUILA), are members of Interwoollabs, Huella de carbono Peru.
We do take care about environment in every aspect. From transportation - when we support program of seeding new trees for every kg transported by our partner, to using eco-friendly materials in our products and even when packaging your orders. And of course, we do not use any non-natural materials in our products!
Alpacas live in high altitudes in Andes. Naturaly above 3800meters above sea level. At this altitude, the water supply is natural and the land is generally not suitable for agriculture. Alpacas nibble only the tops of grasses and other plants; they do not rip plants out of the ground, resulting in less disturbance of the vegetation and allowing it to grow back.
In contrast to goats and sheep, wich have sharp hooves that damage pasture and soil, alpacas have two toes with toenails on top and a soft pad on the bottom of each foot that minimizes their effect on pasture-land.
The efficiency of alpacas is especially notable considering that they require much less food intake than most other fibre-producing livestock (for example: goats which produce cashmere need 2x more food than alpacas for 1kg of pure yarn)
Simple question - simple answer: because evergreens never be old.
With this kind of super soft, super comfy and luxury material you want to use it as long as possible. So we decided to make design as evergreen. Which you can put on today, tomorrow and next years as well.
