Andean Puff™ Alpaca Dolphin — 12"
Handmade Alpaca Fur
Ethically and sustainable sourced
A graceful nod to the sea — our Alpaca Dolphin pairs genuine hand-dyed alpaca fur with a smooth, playful silhouette, shaped entirely by hand.
The Feel of Andean Puff™
This dolphin's white and blue coat is entirely hand-dyed. Genuine Huacaya alpaca fur is individually dyed by a single artisan before being hand-shaped into this smooth, streamlined silhouette.
Andean Puff™ describes a dense, springy loft that yields softly under your hand and naturally recovers its volume. This distinctive feel comes from the natural crimp structure of genuine Huacaya alpaca fur, which creates exceptional loft and volume across the entire fur surface.
Within our Sensory Collection System, Cloud Touch™ is reserved exclusively for teddy bears, while Andean Puff™ identifies our Huacaya-fiber animal designs. The same natural crimp that gives Huacaya fiber its loft is expressed here through the dolphin's smooth, rounded shape.
Every piece includes a signed Certificate of Authenticity from the artisan who made it, one of our 35+ indigenous Andean artisan families in Peru.
