Is the pink dye safe for children? Yes! We use eco-friendly, non-toxic dyes to achieve our soft pink color. The natural properties of the alpaca fiber remain intact, ensuring the toy is safe for cuddling and nursery display.
Does the fur shed? Genuine alpaca fiber is very durable and has minimal shedding compared to synthetic plush. A light shake or a gentle brush with a soft-bristle hairbrush will keep the pink fur looking voluminous and new.
Is this a good baby shower gift? Absolutely. It is one of our best-sellers for baby showers because it combines luxury, ethical storytelling, and a hypoallergenic nature—making it a sophisticated alternative to mass-produced toys.

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.
