Understanding the Materials: Fiber vs. Fur

Our hats and beanies are made from alpaca fiber, designed for everyday wear. Our earmuffs are made from genuine alpaca fur rather than alpaca fiber — the same material used in our stuffed animal collection. Product pages identify the specific material used for each item.

About Our Genuine Alpaca Fur Earmuffs

Our collection includes handmade alpaca earmuffs crafted from genuine alpaca fur. Some alpaca earmuffs are made from fur in its natural coloration, which is naturally free of lanolin. Many people find natural alpaca fur causes less irritation than traditional wool. Others are individually dyed. Product pages identify the specific material and coloration of each piece.
