The alpaca lives in the highlands of the Andes of Peru, Bolivia and Chile, feeding at high altitudes of up to 16,000 feet above the sea level and feeding almost exclusively on wild vegetation.

Fibers used for Quri garments are always obtained in a manner that allows the coats of the animal to renew before the next shearing.

The unique durability of the Alpaca fiber means your clothes will keep their shape and last longer than similar fabrics.

Plus, Alpaca garments are less susceptible to piling, keeping your garment beautiful over time.

So it’s not surprising that our apparel is often passed down from generation to generation.

It is estimated that there are only 5 million alpacas used to produce alpaca wool, while approximately 700 million Hircus goats are used to produce cashmere around the world.

Because alpaca fiber clothing is not produced as much as cashmere, you can be confident that choosing Quri clothes will always reflect your unique style and high standards for quality.

Natural fibers such as sheep’s wool or cashmere may be as warm as alpaca, but not as comfortable or versatile.

Our Alpaca garments are actually better at maintaining insulation, while allowing your skin to breathe.

That makes Quri clothing a great choice for colder regions and climates with quick temperature changes.

The hair of the alpaca is considered one of the finest wool fibers in the world. Thanks to the artisans of the Andes, its quality has not been compromised over the years, like some other fabrics.

For example, cashmere has not maintained the same quality it had in the 1990s.

The increasing popularity of the material has consequently led to its decline in the textile industry, as many producers now cross-breed their goats, sacrificing high quality for lower costs.
