25 years of INCA

As we celebrate a quarter-century of INCA's journey, we look back on 25 years of crafting premium alpaca products, bringing warmth, comfort, and quality to homes and wardrobes worldwide. From humble beginnings to becoming a trusted name in luxury alpaca apparel and accessories, INCA's legacy continues through our cherished brands—Sun Valley Alpaca Co. and Warrior Alpaca Sock. Here’s a look at our history, our values, and the path that brought us here.

The Origins of INCA: A Vision for Quality and Sustainability

Founded in 1999, INCA started with a simple yet powerful mission: to create high-quality alpaca products that combine the best of traditional craftsmanship with modern design. We saw alpaca fiber not only as a premium material but as a sustainable choice that could revolutionize the world of natural fiber fashion. With roots in the rich textile traditions of South America, INCA focused on building lasting relationships with ethical producers in Peru, ensuring that every piece is crafted with respect for the artisans and their environment.

A Commitment to Alpaca: Why We Chose This Extraordinary Fiber

At the heart of INCA’s vision is our dedication to using alpaca fiber. Known for its softness, warmth, and durability, alpaca has natural advantages over other fibers like sheep's wool or synthetic blends. It’s hypoallergenic, eco-friendly, and offers superior insulation while remaining breathable. By choosing alpaca, we not only provide our customers with exceptional products but also support sustainable farming practices that protect these gentle animals and their natural habitats.

Our 25-year journey has allowed us to refine our techniques, embrace innovation, and continually elevate the standards of quality in alpaca products. Our dedication to sustainability has also remained a cornerstone of INCA's philosophy, with a commitment to ethically sourced materials, fair trade practices, and eco-conscious production methods.

Sun Valley Alpaca Co.: Where Luxury and Everyday Comfort Meet

Sun Valley Alpaca Co. is the embodiment of luxury alpaca apparel that fits seamlessly into everyday life. Founded as a part of INCA's expanding vision, Sun Valley Alpaca Co. offers a wide range of products including alpaca sweaters, scarves, hats, and accessories, all designed with timeless style and comfort in mind. We believe that everyone deserves a touch of luxury in their daily lives, and our products are crafted to deliver that, with unmatched softness and warmth.

From the cozy warmth of our signature sweaters to the fine detailing of our accessories, each piece is carefully crafted to ensure a combination of style, function, and sustainability. We blend classic designs with modern sensibilities to create apparel that feels just as good as it looks. As we celebrate our 25th anniversary, we’re proud to continue offering luxurious, sustainable fashion that our customers can feel great about wearing.

Warrior Alpaca Socks: Warmth with a Purpose

Warrior Alpaca Socks was born from a desire to provide people with a superior sock that could stand up to the elements while delivering the kind of warmth and comfort only alpaca fiber can offer.
