Alpaca
YaYa & Co. has been grateful to work with and be educated on such fabrics like those of alpaca, brought to you from Peru's very own region of Arequipa. Alpacas originate in the high altitudes of the Andes Mountains. They are known to withstand extreme temperatures both warm and cold. This is due to the nature of their fleece which is known to be highly-insulating, making it easy for the Alpaca to combat drastic temperature changes.
Our Process is Important
This duvet insert is handmade by artisans and contains 100% alpaca with no additive chemicals such as fillers, synthetic materials or dyes. Not only is this fill luxurious but it also is sustainable. We found that it is more eco-friendly to produce alpaca products than to those of cashmere, mohair or sheep's fur. This fabric is extremely fine yet breathable, allowing for a more temperature regulated sleep. This fill will adjust with your body temperature. This fill is also hypoallergenic allowing it to be allergy friendly, meaning no stuffy nose in the morning.
We craft our Alpaca Duvet Insert with best practices for safe, sustainable and renewable textile manufacturing, in compliance with the Global Organic Textile Standard — the gold standard in environmental and social responsibility. The cotton percale encasing the natural alpaca fibers is 100% GOTS organic certified. Organic certified cotton is more breathable than synthetic alternatives. Our duvet insert is not just high-functioning, it’s also better for you, our farmers and the planet, too. That’s because conventional cotton is a polluted crop grown with toxins. Our cotton is ethically grown in India without pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers.
