Made in Peru

A place shaped by fibre and tradition

Peru is central to Lacorine’s identity. It is home to the world’s finest alpaca fibre and a long-established culture of textile craftsmanship, where knowledge is passed down through generations and closely tied to place.

Our collections are made in collaboration with skilled artisans in Peru, drawing on this heritage while refining it for modern use.

The Origin of Alpaca

The Andean regions of Peru provide the ideal environment for alpaca, where the climate and altitude contribute to the fibre’s unique qualities. Naturally soft, lightweight, and insulating, alpaca has been valued for centuries for its performance and resilience.

By sourcing and producing in Peru, we remain close to the origin of the fibre, allowing greater care, transparency, and respect throughout the process.

Artisan Craftsmanship

Each Lacorine piece is crafted by artisans whose expertise has been shaped through years of practice. Traditional techniques — from spinning and weaving to finishing — form the foundation of our production.

These methods are not rushed or automated. Time and attention are essential to achieving the texture, drape, and durability that define our garments.

Working in Partnership

We work with small workshops and cooperatives that value skilled labour, fair working conditions, and responsible production. Our relationships are built over time, prioritising consistency, trust, and mutual respect.

Rather than producing at scale, we focus on thoughtful collaboration, ensuring each piece reflects both craftsmanship and care.

Respect for Place and Process

Producing in Peru allows us to honour the cultural and material origins of our collections. It supports traditional skills, local communities, and a slower approach to making — one that values quality over quantity.

Every piece carries with it a sense of place, shaped not only by where it is made, but by how.

Made in Peru is not simply a mark of origin, but a commitment to craft, material integrity, and enduring design.
