This fiber comes from small artisanal farmers in the Peruvian highlands who work by traditional farming methods and a close eye is kept on sustainability.

Artisan Profile
In the earliest Peruvian history, you will find examples of the bond between the Incas and alpaca. The Incas placed a higher value on alpaca fiber than gold or silver. The knowledge and craftsmanship of spinning and knitting has been passed down from generation to generation, resulting in the rich, diverse textile heritage of Peru. New patterns are combined with traditional methods, giving an innovative touch without losing the ethical heritage.
The alpaca live mostly without any boundaries in the highlands of the Peruvian Andes and are not harmed during the shearing process. Their soft padded feet are gentle on the grass terrain and they graze without destroying the root system of the area. Alpaca is the only animal that produces up to 28 natural colors and can be blended into an infinite array of natural shades from inky black to warm chestnuts and snowy white. It is easily dyed in any color and always retains its natural luster.
Alpaca is supple and smooth to the touch and because of the featherweight, it’s ultra-light. Alpaca is softer than cashmere and warmer and stronger than lamb’s wool. It contains microscopic air pockets which create lightweight clothing with excellent insulating properties. It is a completely natural fiber and there is no use of harsh chemicals in production.
Rather wonderfully, you’re buying directly from our brand partners: a lovely bunch of independent makers who pack and post every order themselves, from their own workshops, with tracking.
Each one sets its own postage, shown before you pay, and looks after any duties in its own way. Order from three brands and three parcels will arrive, which we prefer to think of as a birthday that lasts most of the week.
Within the UK: 2 to 5 business days
From further afield: 7 to 14 days, and frequently rather quicker
Returns go straight back to the brand that sent them, who will be delighted to help. As, frankly, will we.
Fourteen days from delivery to tell us you’ve changed your mind, and fourteen more to get it on its way back. No reason required, and we certainly won’t ask for one.
Do open it and try it on. Handle it as you would in a shop and we won’t quibble. Handle it as you would a rental car and we may deduct something for the difference.
Return postage is yours to pay, because the brand at the other end is a workshop rather than a warehouse. Some brands kindly cover it themselves, and if yours does, you won’t be charged. Whatever you paid us to send it out, we refund either way, and the money goes back the way it came within fourteen days of the parcel reaching the brand, or of you showing us proof of postage, whichever comes first.
A few things are made to stay with you: anything made or personalised to your order, sealed beauty products once the seal is broken, and anything perishable.
If something arrives damaged, faulty or not quite as described, none of the above applies. It costs you nothing, and we’ll sort it.
Simply email mail@brixbailey.com and we’ll guide you through it.
