Andean Puff™ Llama — 16" Beige
Handmade Alpaca Fur
Inspired Peru
This 16-inch handmade alpaca llama combines genuine baby alpaca fur, a natural undyed beige coat, and artisan craftsmanship in our largest available size.
The Feel of Andean Puff™
Beige is not a color we added. It's the fiber's own natural pigment — genuine baby Huacaya alpaca fur exactly as it comes from the animal, with subtle color variations that make every piece unique.
Andean Puff™ describes a dense, springy loft that yields softly under your hand and naturally recovers its volume. This distinctive feel comes from the natural crimp structure of genuine Huacaya alpaca fur, which creates exceptional loft and volume across the entire fur surface. The result is a feel that is airy, springy, and naturally dimensional, with a loft that differs noticeably from most synthetic plush materials.
This llama is crafted from genuine baby Huacaya alpaca fur in its natural, undyed beige color and is naturally lanolin-free.
At 16 inches, this is the largest member of the Andean Puff™ Llama family. The increased scale allows the natural loft of genuine Huacaya alpaca fur to create a more dramatic silhouette and display presence, while retaining the same artisan construction and softness found across the collection.
While Cloud Touch™ is reserved exclusively for our teddy bears, Andean Puff™ identifies Huacaya-fiber llamas and alpacas. The same natural crimp that gives Huacaya fiber its loft is expressed here through the llama's upright silhouette, dimensional shape, and springy texture.
Each llama is hand-stitched entirely by a single artisan from one of our 35+ indigenous Andean artisan families. No two pieces are exactly alike. Every llama ships with a Certificate of Authenticity signed by the artisan who made it.
Available in three sizes: 16" (this page), our largest statement piece; 12", our most popular display and gifting size; and 6", a collector-sized companion perfect as a desk companion or stocking stuffer. All three share the same genuine Huacaya alpaca fur and individual Certificate of Authenticity — only the scale changes.
