The alpaca wool, or fiber as it is correctly called, that we use in our products of high quality and is manufactured by one of the main producers of Peruvian alpaca yarn. They obtain the fiber from the shearing of the alpaca, in the same way as the shearing of sheep. No alpaca is harmed during the process.

The alpaca fur used in Be ALPACA products is ethically sourced. The Alpaca is not intentionally killed to acquire its fur. Be ALPACA uses alpacas that have died of natural causes due to the cold winter of the Peruvian Andes. The alpaca roams freely in the Altiplano of the Andes, where temperatures can drop dramatically, resulting in young alpacas dying. Alpaca herders do not slaughter their alpacas to remove their skins, it is not economically viable, an alpaca lives for approximately 20 years, so it is more profitable to live from its shearing during those years than to sell its skin.
