The Inspired Peru Difference
-
Softer Than Cashmere: Alpaca fiber is naturally smoother than silk, providing a soothing texture that helps comfort restless little ones.
-
Hypoallergenic & Lanolin-Free: Safe for the most sensitive skin. Unlike sheep's wool, alpaca fiber does not trap dander or dust, making it the healthiest choice for a nursery environment.
-
Ethically Crafted: We only use fur from alpacas that have naturally passed in the Andean highlands. Your purchase supports a fair-trade collective of 35 indigenous families in Peru.

Does this bear smell like wool? No. Alpaca fiber is naturally odor-resistant. Unlike sheep's wool, it does not have that "lanolin" scent, making it fresh and clean right out of the box
How do I clean a baby's alpaca bear? For minor spills, spot clean with a damp cloth and a drop of mild baby shampoo. Avoid soaking the bear. Once air-dried, gently brush the fur to restore its signature fluffiness.

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.
