Fur & wool collections 2014-2015
Embrace the Warmest of Emotions
Shaped by the extraordinarily tough climate, the wool of alpaca has a quality of natural warmth and softness that is literally among the superior in the world. It is up to seven times warmer than the wool of sheep. The essence, yet not the only feature to describe our products. Mostly exclusively handcrafted, they create unique memories over time. They appeal to your feelings and share the affectionate moments in your life. Always there with the support of comfort and softness. Time and again, indoors and outdoors. This is what we are fortunate to offer you across the range of our collection. Ultimately it is the combination of both – the physical feel of these natural materials and the sense of soul and passion that the created products embody. Together they bring the warmest of emotions that you will experience with ALPAKA.
A legacy from the Peruvian highlands, designed and interpreted in the Nordic Country of Estonia. The products of ALPAKA combine the culture, history and experiences of these countries from both hemispheres of the globe. It becomes especially evident with the top of the line of our collection – ALPAKA fur products. Handpicking only the finest, we source the alpaca material in person from Peru. Communities of tanners from around Lake Titicaca then apply time-honoured craft techniques, to ensure that wool and skins are processed in a proven traditional way, meeting the highest quality standards. We bring the unfinished products from across the world to Estonia – a country, where craftsmanship and perception of beauty go hand in hand with modern thinking and inventiveness. With an ancestry and passion of Nordic design excellence, it is here that the pieces are fashioned into special and individual final products.

FUR COLL E CTION
ALPAKA fur collection is the cornerstone of the ALPAKA brand and products. The fur collection features rugs, bedcovers, throws, cushions and teddy bears, and we can also make custom made products. Alpaca fur is an exclusive material with unique qualities. It’s extremely soft, silky and warm, and it will last for a very long time if looked after properly. Alpaca fur does not contain any lanolin, making all our alpaca rugs and other products naturally allergy-free. We specialise in custom made alpaca fur rugs, and we use special anti-slip backing and genuine leather bordering in all our fur rugs to make them more solid and durable. No animals are killed because of the fur, all alpacas have died because of the harsh climate conditions and extreme temperature fluctuations in the mountains, reaching up to more than 40 degrees celsius. Slight variations and differences in the colours and shades of the rugs are a feature of the unique natural style, giving a natural and beautiful appearance to fur products, even when they have been dyed.

The ALPAKA wool collection features plaids, scarves and shawls made of extremely soft and silky alpaca wool. Plaids and scarves from our collection will keep you warm and cosy during the cold seasons of the year and give you luxury and comfort in those special moments you take just for yourself. These beautiful and warm products combine modern and traditional designs and different weaving and knitting techniques with the unique characteristics of this wool to keep you warm on the inside and radiant to the outside. Alpaca wool is naturally curly and the fibres have microscopic holes in them that provide superior insulation and breathability. This allows even the thinnest and lightest plaids made of alpaca to trap the warmth very efficiently – our ALPAKA products will keep you warm when it is cold and keep you cool when it is hot. Alpaca wool contains no lanolin and is naturally dirt repellent, making it the only naturally hypoallergenic wool in the world. You will always feel warm and safe when wrapped in alpaca wool. Alpaca wool has minimal pilling as the alpaca fibres are so smooth, so our plaids, shawls and scarves will keep their beautiful appearance for many years. All these unique characteristics of alpaca wool, its softness, smoothness, silkiness, curliness and ability to repel dirt, make it one of the most desirable natural fibres in the world. In our products we use both baby alpaca and alpaca wool. Baby alpaca is considered the best natural fibre in the world, warm, soft, silky and durable. Baby alpaca wool is cut from the animal for the first time at the age of 2-3 years, when the fibre is at its finest and its highest quality. With regular shearing over the years, alpaca fibre starts to get thicker and stronger, but it does not lose its silkiness and softness, meaning products made of alpaca wool are still majestic and are even more durable.
