Why is it worth buying OEKO TEX ?
Wool with an OEKO TEX certificate has been tested for chemical content by independent research and testing institutes. The testing is carried out according to uniform guidelines, test methods and limit values. Close cooperation with the manufacturers contributes to the development of high-quality textile products. Wool with an OEKO TEX certificate is regularly tested for chemical substances that could be harmful to sensitive skin due to cleaning, dyeing and wool production.

Does Alpakita produce sustainable knitwear?
Our products for adults and children are knitted from the natural fiber of alpacas. When selecting the wool, we attach great importance to the quality of the wool. It should be produced in a social environment and the animals must be kept carefully in their natural environment. Certifications from the wool manufacturers and personal visits to the manufacturers give us the certainty that we are using the right wool. Wool made from pure baby alpaca without harmful chemical ingredients, social working conditions and species-appropriate husbandry of the alpacas are very important to us.

Our whole team thinks in a nature-conscious way , the preservation and protection of the environment is very important to all of us. As a manufacturer of high-quality handmade embroidered clothing made from pure alpaca wool, our goal is to know the quality of the wool processed. Therefore, it is very important to us whether a wool manufacturer can describe all stages of its value chain and provide certified evidence. Our wool manufacturer Inca Tops SA from Arequipa has an OEKO-TEX certificate for its wool made from pure baby alpaca in natural colors. On this website we would like to introduce you to the knitted sweaters, cardigans and knitted blankets that have been knitted with OEKO-TEX certified wool from Inca Tops.
Are Peruvian knitters paid fairly?
The individual products are not manufactured industrially but by hand, using traditional knitting needles or a knitting machine . The knitters determine the price of their handicrafts. The precious wool and the handicrafts influence the selling price. We know our knitters and the knitters know us. Fair payment is our foundation so that you can wear wonderful hand-made wool.
