This llama is handcrafted by a single artisan family in Puno, Peru, from genuine alpaca fur individually hand-dyed to its lavender color. The vibrant pompom accents are hand-tufted and applied by hand, reflecting the colorful textile traditions of the Andes.

At four feet tall, this is one of our largest handmade pieces—a true statement object, not a stuffed animal. Its head is removable, which makes shipping easier and allows you to display it looking in different directions. No two pieces are exactly alike; natural variation in fiber, color, and pompom placement is part of what makes each one an individual work.

Every piece includes a signed Certificate of Authenticity from the artisan who made it, one of our 35+ indigenous Andean artisan families in Peru.

This is a decorative statement piece, not designed or intended as a children's toy. Seams and construction are hand-finished, and each piece is personally inspected before shipping by the artisan family who made it.

At this scale, this llama makes a genuine presence — well suited to an entryway, living room corner, sunroom, or any space that could use a distinctive artisan focal point. Its lavender coloring and festive pompoms bring warmth and character, especially during the holiday season.

Keep it out of direct, prolonged sunlight to preserve its color, and reserve floor space away from high-traffic areas to protect the fur and pompoms over time.

Dust gently or spot clean with a small amount of foam from a mild, fragrance-free soap, keeping the piece as dry as possible. Never machine wash or tumble dry. For moving or repositioning, support the body rather than lifting by the head or pompoms.

Because each piece is handcrafted individually, this item is offered as a seasonal reservation. Reservations placed by October 10 are scheduled for December 1 shipment from the United States, giving you time to receive it well before the holidays. Should your piece arrive from Peru ahead of schedule, we'll reach out in case you'd like it shipped to you sooner. Free shipping to the continental US.
