What a beautiful poncho model and such high quality workmanship! It also served me well during my pregnancy, I love how soft and cozy it is. Many thanks to the women in Peru.

I like the timeless style of the poncho and that I can wear it on almost any occasion. I have limited mobility and therefore prefer comfortable clothing that I can put on quickly.

Alpaca ponchos for women

A garment like no other

Alpaca wool ponchos for women represent Peru's textile heritage like no other item of clothing. Ponchos come from Peru and have been valued for their comfort and convenience for thousands of years. They can be put on and taken off quickly and can be easily adapted to the changing weather conditions in the Andes. The second reason why ponchos from Peru are special is the material alpaca wool. In Peru, alpaca fur has long been processed into high-quality natural fiber clothing such as warmest sweaters, ponchos, warm cardigans and accessories such as socks, gloves and hats. Since around 90% of the world's alpacas live in Peru, the country is known as the land of alpacas. The alpaca wool from Peru is of the highest quality; due to the long tradition of breeding alpacas for their wool, Peru has built up a knowledge advantage over other South American countries such as Bolivia, Chile and Argentina. Alpacas are also increasingly being kept for their wool in Europe, but the quality of the wool is lower because the Andean camels do not live there in their natural habitat at an altitude of over 3,500 meters.

While ponchos or capes from Peru are often colorful and wildly patterned, we have reinterpreted them in a modern and elegant way to suit European fashion tastes. Ponchos are the more comfortable alternative to alpaca pullovers and alpaca cardigans. Usually sleeveless, they are quick to put on and and thanks to their loose fit, are also suitable for layering clothes to keep warm. How do you wear a poncho? Ponchos and capes can be combined in many ways - as a casual outfit, for the office, and also as an elegant wardrobe for evening events. Ponchos are not tight-fitting, but offer freedom of movement. They are available in one size, and you can keep wearing them even if you've put on a few pounds. How do ponchos differ from capes? While ponchos are closed, a cape is a type of cardigan that is open at the front.

Special features of alpaca ponchos for women

Alpaca wool has characteristics that delight many women. It offers the highest level of comfort without sacrificing elegance.

Icon Feder für Weichheit

Softness

Not all alpaca wool is the same. Instead, it is available in five qualities that differ in their fineness and softness. For textiles that are close to the skin, we always recommend choosing the highest quality baby alpaca so that alpaca wool does not scratch. Baby alpaca wool does not mean the wool from baby alpacas, it is the wool that is sheared from protected body areas of adult alpacas. Lower qualities can cause a scratchy feeling on the skin.

Icon Thermoeigenschaft

For all seasons

When you think of alpaca wool, you usually think of warmth. That's right, because alpaca wool is the warmest wool and a full seven times warmer than sheep's wool. In addition to warm ponchos for winter, there are also thinner woven ponchos for the transitional seasons. Alpaca wool offers thermal properties like no other type of wool or plant fiber. It is able to adapt to the weather, keeping you warm so that you don't freeze and at the same time ensuring that you don't sweat. This is due to the changing temperatures in the Andes Mountains, where alpacas live. The one coat protects the alpaca camels from cold temperatures in the sub-zero range to intense sunlight.

Icon Atmungsaktivität

Breathable

An important property for clothing that comes into direct contact with the skin is breathability. Alpaca wool is naturally breathable and wicks moisture away from the skin, so you don't sweat as easily even when you're physically active.

Icon für Allergie

Allergy friendly

Alpaca wool is suitable for allergy sufferers because it is hypoallergenic and contains hardly any lanolin (wool fat). Allergy sufferers and people with sensitive skin should always choose the softest baby alpaca quality to avoid being disappointed by scratchy alpaca wool.

Icon für Anti-Bakterien

Without weighing down

Ponchos are light and offer you the highest level of comfort. In addition to thin alpaca wool, natural plant fibers such as soft Pima cotton from Peru or linen are also suitable for summer ponchos. Alpaca material is not only comfortable and visually appealing, but also practical. Alpaca fibers are dirt-repellent and inhibit bacteria, so that bad odors cannot take hold.

How do I care for my women's alpaca poncho?

To ensure that alpaca wool retains its softness over a long period of time, it needs to be cared for properly. You can wash alpaca wool in the washing machine or by hand. When washing your alpaca wool, use the gentle wool cycle with a low temperature and spin speed to avoid pilling. Use wool detergent and avoid fabric softener and bleach. After washing, do not put your women's alpaca poncho in the dryer or iron it. Alpaca wool dries quickly in the fresh air and should be placed flat on a clothes rack. Since alpaca wool has bacteria-inhibiting molecules, your poncho does not need to be washed too often. It is enough to air it out in the fresh air.
