Legend has it that the Sun God, Inti created the alpaca to reward the Incas of Peru. This beautiful and intelligent animal provided the Inca royal family with fibre softer and more luxurious than any other in the world. The softness, lightness and warmth that Alpaca provides can be attributed to the micron count of its wool.

For thousands of years South Americans have appreciated the quality of the Alpaca and the garments that are produced by the wool.

Today Atacama Textiles provides you with an opportunity to purchase Alpaca garments and accessories that will astonish you by their quality and luxury.

The range comprises shawls, throws, scarves, blankets and children’s wear and is constantly being updated. For the 2004 season we introduced a range of socks and adults jumpers jerkins, blankets and scarves from British Alpaca Ltd.

With this new range we have the first of the wholly produced and manufactured British alpaca socks. These we hope will be just the beginning of development and production of alpaca based textiles from British alpaca fleece.

Our products make great additions to your wardrobe as well as excellent gifts. You can also request our products to be especially gift wrapped should you wish.
