Winter greetings from Bristol, Osaka and Okinawa!

After a busy autumn period, traveling around in the Peruvian and Bolivian Andes, winter has slowly but surely begun. We are excited to be dropping many new styles and accessories to our online shop to suit your needs in these cooling conditions.

During our recent travels to South America we were reminded of the extraordinary circumstances alpacas exist in and the magic their beautiful fibre provides. With alpaca fibre being hollow at its core, our sweaters and scarves provides perfect thermal abilities, keeping you warm outside and releasing your body’s heat when inside in a warmer “hygge” ambiance.

Stay cosy, Satoru and Kiyoshi Inoue

Our relationship with Pacomarca has resulted in a special partnership to produce the finest alpaca fibre available in the world.

Together with new ideas and projects to create further income generating opportunities for the indigenous communities, we and Pacomarca endeavour to be in the vanguard of the fine-fibre production in The Andes.
