Description
Folklorical Poncho coming to you directly from Peru!
Its an original!
-Standart Size-
It has been made with the highest quality of Alpaca wool and designed in a very particular and folklorical style.
Alpaca wool is one of the most recognized worldwide for its softness and because it will keep you very warm and cosy at every moment.
This is an original Poncho, it comes directly from the Andean region of Peru!
Here's a little information about Alpaca's and it's fur:
1) Alpaca's are NOT being killed to get the fur.
It would be against the Peruvian law anyway.
2) Alpaca Wool is much more expensive than it's 'pelt' or 'skin'.
Therefore we protect our animals and SHEAR and harvest their fur.
Alpacas natural habitats are the Andean Mountains of Peru, some 4,000 to 5,000 meters above sea level.
The temperature in this area dips to minus 30 degress Celcius at night.
Unfortunately the weak baby and old ones die due to those extreme weather conditions.
At first this caused big losses for many poor farmers, who have to make a living by raising and shearing their live stock.
They had to burn their dead Alpacas and their lost income.
Later on the farmers discovered using the animal's pelts for making carpets, rugs, bedspreads etc would increase their income.
It's all they are living of. There are no other sources of income.
While we are happy to be able to support a big part of the Andean's population -
