How do I clean my pink alpaca bear? To keep the fur fluffy, we recommend spot cleaning only with a damp cloth. Avoid submerging the bear in water. Once dry, a quick brush with a soft hairbrush will restore its original volume.
Why does it feel colder/softer than synthetic fur? Alpaca is a natural protein fiber with a hollow core. This makes it incredibly breathable and silky. Unlike synthetic "faux fur" made of plastic (polyester), alpaca fur does not trap sweat or dander and maintains its luster for years.

THE TECHNIQUE
On average, six to eight artisans collaborate on the production of these stuffed animals. It takes about five days to craft each of these adorable, hypoallergenic stuffed animals. The process begins with artisans shaping molds and carefully sewing the body. Each animal’s face is separately constructed, giving each piece a very realistic flair. After carefully shaving the alpaca, the hair is washed and sun-dried for one to two days. Depending on the item, the artisans may dye the alpaca hair using vibrant colors. Dying involves additional hand-wash cycles to reach the desired color. Molds are separately made using flexible cardboard. Artisans carefully hand-glue the washed alpaca hair to the mold. Once dried, the hair is thoroughly hand-combed to reach its staple softness. No animal cruelty is involved in the sourcing of the alpaca hair.
