...buy an Alpaca sweater, support the restoration of the Gulf of Mexico...buy an Alpaca jacket, educate travelers and travel providers about sustainable travel. Heck, don't let us stop you, do all three. Here at Alpaca Collections, we’re working hard to find more ways to lighten our environmental impact and leave our global community in a better place than we found it. We’ve committed to donating one percent of our annual sales to environmental causes through our relationship with 1% For the Planet.

We’re also asking for your participation: each time you make a purchase from us, you get to choose which environmental non-profit receives our support: Ecoan Peru, Gulf Restoration Network or Sustainable Travel International.

- Ecoan Peru Ecoan, headquartered in Cusco, is working to reverse deforestation in the Andes of Peru through carefully selected reforestation projects. Seedlings are purchased locally and the community helps in the planting of up to 10,000 indigenous trees in a single day.

- Gulf Restoration Network One of the many environmental organizations working on the front lines to help mitigate the BP oil drilling disaster, their vision is for the Gulf of Mexico to continue to be a natural, economic, and recreational resource that is central to the culture and heritage of five states and three nations.

- Sustainable Travel International Sustainable Travel International is dedicated to providing education and outreach services that help travelers, travel providers and destinations support environmental conservation and protect cultural heritage while promoting cross-cultural understanding and economic development.

All you have to do is purchase something from our site and during the check out process you’ll be asked to pick which non-profit will receive 1% of your purchase. The little things do make a difference; help us help the planet.
