11. Sustainability & Biodiversity
• Colored Alpaca
• For too many years, alpaca ranchers in the Peruvian Highlands raised only white alpacas. Their wool absorbs dye best, and that’s
what markets demanded. The results: weaker, sicker herds needing antibiotics to survive. Insecurity and increased poverty for
people who were already struggling. By creating a demand for colored alpaca wool, we actively increase the genetic diversity of
Peru’s Alpaca populations. And here is a far happier result than the last: hardier herds of alpacas and greater economic security for
ranchers.
• Safe Dyes
• We ensure that all dyes used to create our color palettes do no harm to the earth. Our low-impact dyeing process eliminates
harmful chemicals and waste. We refuse to use any processes or dyes that harm the planet, even ones that are in mainstream use
by the textile industry and available at a cheaper cost. We utilize dyes that are approved by the Oeko-Tex Standard 100
• Colored Cotton
• When we picture cotton, a field blanketed in fluffy white comes to mind. Yet cotton comes in a variety of gorgeous colors that
render dye unnecessary. Rich, natural hues reminiscent of the earth, make lovely and versatile organic cotton cloth. Many of these
colored varieties need less pesticides and water to thrive, making them a more sustainable choice for clothes and beyond.
• Pure Collection
• What’s better than low-impact dyes? No dyes at all. The PURE collection derives its tones solely from nature, with gorgeous shades
of alpaca, sheep’s wool, and organic cotton. PURE clothing gives economic
• security to people in the Andean Highlands while treating the earth and its animals with respect.
