About Samantha Holmes Alpaca Clothing and Gifts

USA & EU: IMPORT DUTY PRE-PAID. The price you see on our products INCLUDES IMPORT DUTY. EU clients must pay their own Import VAT via payment link prior to delivery. We are a small founder-owned business in Scotland, specialising in soft, cosy, natural alpaca clothing. Founded in 2003, my inspiration for my designs and colours comes from the dramatic scenery of Scotland's West Coast where I work from home. I have always loved traditional craftsmanship and the natural world. Once known as the Gold of the Incas, alpaca fleece was once treasured by Inca Royalty for its lustre and unique buttery softness. It is super-insulating, hard wearing, hypo-allergenic and comes in many natural colours ranging from cream, beige, brown, grey to charcoal and black. My alpaca products are simple, versatile and timeless. Each piece is beautifully made and hand-finished in Peru. Our business helps sustain the livelihoods of the families and homeworkers who make for us in poor communities, protecting a fragile tradition that stretches back thousands of years to pre-Incan times. • Sustainably and ethically made • Unique silkiness which improves with age • Durable, no bobbling or pilling • Low prickle factor • Natural and Hypoallergenic • High warmth to weight ratio Our products perform well in small independent retailers as well as alpaca visitor centres and farm shops throughout the UK, EU and North America.Read their story
