Andean Puff™ White Lion — 16"
Inspired Peru
This Alpaca Lion stuffed animal is handcrafted in Peru from genuine Huacaya alpaca fur in its own natural white pigment. At 16 inches, it's our largest lion — a jumbo-scale statement piece that includes a signed Certificate of Authenticity.
The Feel of Andean Puff™
White is not a color we added. It's the fiber's own natural pigment — genuine Huacaya alpaca fur in its purest, undyed form, hand-shaped into our largest Alpaca Lion, creating a true statement piece for display, gifting, or collecting.
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 lion's flowing mane and expressive face, at a scale that makes it a true centerpiece.
Every handmade Alpaca Lion includes a signed Certificate of Authenticity from the artisan who made it, one of our 35+ indigenous Andean artisan families in Peru.
