Rocco Suri Alpaca Fur Teddy Bear
A rare bear in rare fur, with a long, silky coat quite unlike any other teddy.
Rocco is made from the fur of the Suri alpaca, the rarer of the two breeds, whose fleece grows in long, silky locks that fall and shine. It gives him a wonderfully shaggy coat that begs to be stroked. Suri fur is scarce, so Rocco can only be made when it becomes available, and he is made in small numbers. He stands 30 cm tall and is handmade in Peru in the fur's natural colours, with no dye and no bleach.
He is the bear for collectors, and for anyone who wants a christening present nobody else will have thought of.
The fur comes only from natural herd loss, from alpacas lost to natural causes during the harsh Andean winters. No alpaca is ever raised or taken for its fur. Tested to the EN71 toy safety standard, CE marked and suitable from birth.

Made to Order
Many Lacorine pieces are made in small numbers and colours, and some take considerable time to make. If an item is out of stock, we can usually make it to order. Production times vary, so we will contact you with an estimated dispatch date before going ahead.
Questions
To check stock or ask about an order, email info@lacorine.co.uk or call 020 8777 7534. Cancellations and returns are covered in our Refund Policy.
Changing your mind
You can cancel your order for any reason within 14 days of the day you receive it. Tell us by email at info@lacorine.co.uk or by phone on 020 8777 7534, then send the goods back to us within 14 days of telling us.
You can try an item on as you would in a shop to decide whether to keep it. If it has been worn or handled more than that, for example worn outdoors or washed, we may reduce the refund to reflect the loss in value. Please return items with their labels still attached where possible.
We do not offer exchanges. If you would like a different size or colour, please return the original for a refund and place a new order.
Your refund
We refund you within 14 days of receiving the goods back, or of receiving proof that you have sent them, whichever is sooner. The refund goes back to the payment method you used. If you return your whole order, we also refund the cost of standard delivery. If you chose a more expensive delivery option, such as Next Day Delivery, we refund only the cost of our standard delivery.
Unless an item is faulty, the cost of sending it back to us is yours. We recommend a tracked service, as returns remain your responsibility until they reach us.
If an order used a discount or offer that depended on its total, and a return takes the order below that total, the refund is adjusted to reflect the offer no longer applying.
Faulty or incorrect items
If something arrives faulty, damaged or not as described, please contact us as soon as you can. You can reject a faulty item for a full refund within 30 days of receiving it, and after that you are entitled to a repair or replacement, or a refund if that is not possible. We cover the cost of returning faulty items. None of this affects your statutory rights.
Gifts
Gifts can be returned by the recipient within the same 14 days. Refunds for gifts are made to the original purchaser.

Alpaca is one of the most sought-after natural fibres in the world, and it grows in 22 natural shades, from white and champagne through fawn and caramel to deep brown, grey and black. Every piece in our collections is made from alpaca raised in the high Andes of Peru.
Softer, lighter, kinder to skin
• Fine alpaca fibre has a smooth surface, which gives our garments their silky handle and gentle sheen.
• Alpaca is light to wear and holds warmth well, so a scarf or hat gives real warmth without bulk.
• Alpaca is gentle next to the skin, and many people who find wool itchy wear alpaca comfortably.
• Alpaca sheds light rain and moisture, keeping its shape and feel in damp weather.
Made to last
• Alpaca is a strong fibre that wears better than sheep's wool, so a well-made garment keeps its look for years.
• It holds its surface and resists pilling with normal wear.
• It is a natural protein fibre, so it is slow to catch light and, at the end of a long life, biodegrades.
Our fair trade principles
Lacorine works directly with communities of alpaca herders and skilled makers in the Peruvian Andes. Together we design, make and sell alpaca garments and accessories of the highest quality, drawing on Peruvian textile traditions. The alpacas come first: they are shorn, never harmed, and our fur comes only from animals lost to the hard Andean winters. Our work supports sustainable alpaca farming, so these traditions carry on with the next generation of herders and makers.
We are members of BAFTS, the British Association for Fair Trade Shops and Suppliers, a network of independent shops and suppliers promoting fair trade retail in the UK. We pay fairly and work to fair conditions with everyone who makes our products.

The Fibre
Alpaca fibre is valued for its exceptional softness, natural warmth, and durability. Lightweight yet insulating, it regulates temperature and retains its shape over time, making it well suited to seasonless wear.
Craftsmanship
Crafted in Peru by skilled artisans, each piece reflects generations of textile knowledge refined through contemporary design. Traditional techniques are combined with careful finishing to ensure quality, longevity, and a refined hand feel.
Care & Longevity
To preserve the natural qualities of alpaca, we recommend gentle hand washing or professional dry cleaning. Store folded to maintain shape and texture. With considered care, alpaca fibres improve with wear over time.
