Inca Ecru Sweater

The term “Baby Alpaca” designates the wool made up of the finest fibers, which are found in particular on the chest of the animal. We have selected this extremely rare wool for its exceptional properties: warm (obviously) it is also incredibly soft, breathable, very strong and, unlike sheep's wool... hypoallergenic! No risk of allergy or scratching.

The alpaca lives in the high plateaus of the Andes, at around 4000 meters above sea level. Strong winds blow there and temperatures can sometimes drop below -20°C! Its secret to resisting these temperature variations? Its very soft and breathable wool which insulates from the cold in winter, without suffocating it when the mild season arrives.

Unlike llamas, alpacas do not molt or lose their hair. Its mowing is therefore essential for its comfort and well-being, especially as summer approaches. Nothing like a little spring cut to start the season on the right foot, right?

Alpaca is an extremely breathable material. You don't need to wash it often! We recommend that you wash your sweater by hand in cold water with a mild or specific product for wool.

Since our beginnings, we have been collaborating with the association Los Chicos de Cusco, which humanly and financially supports several educational establishments in the suburbs of Cusco. For each product sold, 1€ is donated to the association, i.e. more than 20% of our profits. This donation helps finance a school day for a child in Peru!

Perus was born in 2014 from a trip to South America and a desire to offer sustainable, ethical and committed fashion.
