Q: What makes Suri alpaca fur different from regular alpaca fur? A: Suri fiber is world-famous for its high sheen and silky drape. While regular alpacas have a crimped, "puffy" fleece, the Suri alpaca grows long, straight locks. At 7 inches, our pink alpaca plush beautifully showcases this rare and luxurious texture.
Q: Is this 7-inch alpaca a good gift for adults? A: Yes! Because of its rare material and sophisticated look, the Pink Suri is a popular choice for office desks, "maximalist" shelf decor, and therapeutic sensory gifts for adults who appreciate fine craftsmanship.
Q: How do I style the long fur? A: Suri fiber is very low-maintenance. To keep it looking its best, simply give it a light shake. You can "finger-comb" the locks to keep them separated and flowing. Avoid vigorous brushing to maintain the natural "lock" structure of the fiber.

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.
