Why Choose Huacaya Alpaca Fiber?
-
Iconic Teddy-Bear Texture: Huacaya alpaca fur is dense, curly, and incredibly "puffy," giving these lions their perfectly rounded, huggable shape that holds its loft for years.
-
100% Hypoallergenic: Lanolin-free and resistant to dust and allergens, making this duo the safest choice for nurseries, children, and those with sensitive skin.
-
Artisan Story: Every patch of fuchsia, purple, yellow, cyan, and orange fur is individually hand-joined by our cooperative of Peruvian widows and heads of household, ensuring no two lions are exactly alike.
- Crafted from Baby Alpaca-grade fiber (under 22.5 microns) for an ultra-soft, refined finish that surpasses standard plush.
The Lion is a symbol of strength and protection. This Rainbow Duo celebrates the 'pride' we take in our Peruvian heritage and the vibrant future we are weaving together.

THE TECHNIQUE
On average, six to eight artisans collaborate on the production of these stuffed animals. It takes about five days to craft each of these adorable, hypoallergenic stuffed animals. The process begins with artisans shaping molds and carefully sewing the body. Each animal’s face is separately constructed, giving each piece a very realistic flair. After carefully shaving the alpaca, the hair is washed and sun-dried for one to two days. Depending on the item, the artisans may dye the alpaca hair using vibrant colors. Dying involves additional hand-wash cycles to reach the desired color. Molds are separately made using flexible cardboard. Artisans carefully hand-glue the washed alpaca hair to the mold. Once dried, the hair is thoroughly hand-combed to reach its staple softness. No animal cruelty is involved in the sourcing of the alpaca hair.
