The Best Alpaca Scarves on Alpaca Collections Online Store!

Have you ever wondered about how the scarf became the high-fashion accessory it is today? Scarves have been a part of human history since ancient times. This piece of clothing has had many different purposes ranging from being a luxury item worn by Queen Nefertiti in Egypt 1350 BC to playing a role in military ranking during Chinese Emperor Cheng's reign.

It is also believed that around the 17th century in Croatia, women who were saying goodbye to men going to war used to give them their scarves so the soldiers would not forget them when they were worlds away. By wearing a scarf, a man would show his loyalty to them.

In recent history, however, The French fashion empire Hermes would become the one to design the first ready-to-wear graphic silk scarf, which served to signify fashion sense. At that moment, the birth of the modern scarf had taken place.

I think we have made it clear that a scarf is not only the go-to accessory during the cold season but a fashion essential that can make any outfit stand out wherever you are. As a Peruvian clothing store, we take pride in saying we have sourced from the best Peruvian clothing brands and alpaca products suppliers to bring you a wide variety of alternatives which include scarves made of 100% Baby Alpaca, Silk blend, Bamboo, and even Vicuña.

Baby Alpaca Scarves with Peruvian motifs

This particular design comes in three cheerful color combinations and it is also made from Baby Alpaca which means it has the outstanding property of thermoregulation. A property that this incredible animal gained through its need of adapting to drastic temperature variations in short periods of time.

The Peruvian motifs on this beautiful piece that give it a special look are called "Retablos". The Retablos or Altarpieces are sophisticated Peruvian Folk art that depicts religious, historical, or everyday events that are important to people of the highlands of Peru. It is a tradition that originated in the city of Ayacucho. 

"Basel" Vicuña Scarf

This 100% Vicuna Scarf is made of the finest animal fiber in the world. In case you didn't know, it is a camelid that lives high in the Andes mountains of South America. Designers who handle vicuña describe the fabric to be ten times softer than the best cashmere. 

Vicunas may only be sheared every two years and produce a small amount of fiber, increasing the rarity of this beautiful product. In Inca times, only royalty could wear such amazing fiber. Today, however, this luxurious fiber can be yours and for many more years compared to garments made of common fabrics. 

This scarf comes in a wooden box including a hand-numbered and signed card guaranteeing the fiber came from government-controlled shearing operations. Limited quantities of fiber are available each year adding to its uniqueness.

"Millenium Collection" Baby Alpaca & Silk Scarves/Shawls

Inspired by the textile art of the Nazca Culture (100 BC to 800 AD), also known for their technically complex textiles characterized by beautiful polychrome designs. Given its size, you can pair it with a simple monochrome outfit or evening dress and just drape it over your shoulders like a shawl. This look displays elegance and will keep you warm if things get drafty.

Nazca Culture is known worldwide for the geoglyphs of Nazca called "Nazca Lines". A series of geometric shapes, miles of lines, and large drawings of animal figures (some as large as a football field) constructed on the desert floor in the Nazca region. You will find some of these beautiful patterns in this piece. You could say this beautiful piece lets you take a part of history with you wherever you go.
