Experience Alpaca: Fab Finds Under $50

Alpaca is totally the new cashmere. People who had never given alpaca a thought just a year ago are noticing its growing popularity, as the fiber starts popping up on more and more fabric content labels. Most of these products reveal just small percentages of alpaca, but demonstrate designers' and retailers' desire to advertise alpaca content and include the word in their product names. This practice mimics the fashion industry's love affair with cashmere in past decades, with sweaters and accessories labeled "cashmere" shown at every price point. The fact that alpaca has finally reached cashmere status in the eyes of the retailer is great news to us!

Many people have recently discovered alpaca and are now eager to get their hands on some. (We can't blame them!) But like any luxury good, alpaca doesn't come cheap. We should expect to pay for high quality, ethical fashion, but thankfully Sun Valley Alpaca Co. offers some 100% pure alpaca options that are easy on the wallet and a perfect start to a new alpaca collection.
