About Simply Natural Alpaca

In 1997 Francis Enterprises started in retail. Rosa Francis and her husband Joe Francis, founders, ventured into selling sheepskin footwear in 2001 in malls across the US. Their passion for nature fibers brought them to their first adventure of selling clothing and shoes and that’s how the name Simply Natural came about. Rosa and Joe love the adventure of selling and building relationships with customers all around the world. It is a husband and wife creation that brought this operation to grow and grow. Their small operation mushroomed from a garage to keep their stock in, to a rented storage unit to a 27,000 square foot warehouse. In 2008 Rosa and Joe fell in love with alpaca and soon after journeyed to Peru to take the plunge into one of the softest, warmest fibers on earth… Rosa and Joe now retail sheepskin footwear and high-end alpaca apparel in permanent and seasonal boutiques from Maine to Virginia. The company sells wholesale to retailers across the U.S. and Europe and are moving into more permanent stores and supporting various non-profit activities and in general spreading their love of natural fibers to those customers who crave them. We still feel like we’re right there in the store with you. We want to provide you with the best in alpaca sweaters, capes, coats and accessories that money can buy. Something that you’ll love that will stay with you for a lifetime.Read their story
