Down
Down is often treated with harsh chemicals to remove odor and kill insects. It collects dust, attracting mites, and over time, mites and mold can increase.
Alpaca: The Warm, Modern
Superior thermoregulation, 100% breathability, an ethical and sustainable choice.
Alpaca fiber coat insulation upgrades your winter wardrobe’s performance, using modern technology. It’s both a luxurious choice and an ethical one. Below are key reasons to choose alpaca:
01: A Healthier Insulation Option
Alpaca
Alpaca fiber is naturally hypoallergenic, anti-static, and fire resistant. It does not attract dust and dust mites, and does not lose its qualities over years of use.
02: Temperature-regulating Comfort
Down
It clumps when damp, losing its thermal properties. Its warmth is sealed in sections or bags, not allowing for even heating.
Alpaca
It absorbs extra humidity, which is then released when the coat is taken off. Through homeostasis, alpaca fiber insulation keeps your body at a stable temperature.
03: Engineering and Technology
Down
Down is sealed in down-proof/water-proof/air-proof/waxed bags. The coat becomes a small greenhouse you continuously wear on yourself.
Alpaca
There are no bags in the construction of the garment, so warmth isn’t sealed in, and the passage of air isn’t blocked.
04: An Ethical Choice
Down
Plucking down, often from live animals, isn’t an ethical or painless process.

The alpaca gets a haircut, since the fiber is trimmed off.
