Caring for Alpaca
Alpaca improves with wear. Store folded (never hung), air after wear rather than washing frequently, and dry-clean only when needed. A soft brush restores the pile beautifully.

Every order arrives in signature Lacorine packaging — considered, protective, and ready to gift.

Alpaca comes in 22 natural shades. Subtle and beautiful, the alpaca is one of the most highly sought-after natural fibres in the world. The wool and fur from our collections come from 100% sustainably sourced alpaca from the rugged Andes mountains of Peru.
• The unique structure of our alpaca textile makes items luxuriously soft with a silky sheen.
• Alpaca is lighter and warmer than sheep wool.
• Alpaca does not irritate the skin, often like sheep wool.
• Naturally water-resistant.
• Unlike sheep’s wool, it contains no lanolin, making it hypoallergenic and suitable for sensitive skin conditions.
• It is flame-resistant.
• Unlike cashmere, it resists pilling.
• Durable and long-lasting, alpaca is second to silk in strength. Garments made of 100% alpaca fibre are extremely high quality.
• Alpaca is sustainable and biodegradable.
Our Fairtrade Principles
Lacorine is a sustainable and ethical social enterprise working in collaboration with communities of alpaca herders and talented artisans in the Peruvian Andes. Together, we design, create and sell beautiful alpaca garments and accessories of the highest quality which are inspired by Peruvian culture. Our support of sustainable agriculture in the Andes aims to ensure the continuation of these storied traditions into the 21st century.
We are registered with BAFTS, a network of independent shops and suppliers dedicated to promoting Fair Trade retail in the UK. We are proud to be Fair Trade employers and ensure fair working conditions and payment for all our collaborators.
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.
