Alpaca ponchos for women

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.

Our alpaca women's ponchos will pamper your skin with their softness, as they are made from 100% pure baby alpaca wool. We deliberately avoid blends with synthetic fibers or other types of wool so that the alpaca wool can really develop its special heat and thermoregulation properties.

It has been awarded the animal welfare certificate Responsible Alpaca Standard (RAS) to guarantee buyers wool without animal cruelty. Our alpaca ponchos for men and women are limited in number. Ponchos for small women are cut shorter so as not to make them appear smaller. Alpaca wool stands for sustainable slow fashion, which guarantees timeless designs, the highest quality, durability and fair working conditions for people.

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.
