Native to the Peruvian Andes, alpaca fiber is one of the strongest and most sustainable materials in the world. Wuaman is a family run, multi generational, international business that had humble beginnings and a mission to not only improve the community, but create some of the best products in the world. Today, Wuaman manufactures unique, handcrafted apparel and accessories made from alpaca fiber. The artisanship of these handmade pieces are truly special, showcasing the personality and talent of the local Peruvian community that also embroiders many pieces.
From the start, Wuaman products were handmade and included handmade embroidery and crochet designs. To this day, handmade products and handmade designs are their signature. Wuaman's journey led them to create embroidery and crochet workshops in surrounding humble communities. This would not only help textile art remain alive, but also would teach an employable trade to a struggling community and lead them to achieve economic stability. In addition, by manufacturing a high quality good with resilient material (that is also hypoallergenic), the product cycle is much longer than other materials processes.
