Best Alpaca Brands in Lima Peru

Read on to explore these top-quality alpaca brands.

Kuna: Classic Elegance with Luxurious Textures

Vibe: Sophisticated, timeless, high-quality
Quality: Top-tier
Where: Larcomar, Miraflores, Lima Airport (with duty-free!)

Kuna is one of the most trusted names in Peruvian alpaca, and for good reason. They produce their own fiber, which means exceptional consistency and quality—from feather-soft baby alpaca to ultra-luxurious vicuña. Their pieces are beautifully made, with a timeless design sensibility that’s all about elegance and comfort.

Here’s something many people don’t realize: Kuna often runs excellent sales and promotions, especially in-store. Don’t be afraid to ask—I’ve seen amazing deals on scarves, ponchos, and even coats.

Sol Alpaca: Heritage Meets Modern Design

Vibe: Refined with a traditional touch
Quality: Excellent
Where: Larcomar and San Isidro

Sol Alpaca is another major name in high-end Peruvian alpaca. Their style leans a little more traditional than Kuna—think Andean-inspired motifs and earthy tones—but the quality is equally strong. They source their own fiber, which helps ensure consistency and ethical production.

This is a great place to shop for gifts, or for a piece that feels deeply rooted in Peru’s textile heritage but still modern enough to wear back home.

Alessandra Petersen: For the Design Lovers

 Vibe: Chic, minimal, runway-worthy
Quality: Luxury
Where: Atelier in Miraflores  (Contact for an appointment C. Atahualpa 479 -A, Miraflores LIMA 18, Peru)

Alessandra Petersen blends Danish minimalism with Peruvian craftsmanship, and the result is stunning. Clean lines, luxurious fibers, and silhouettes that feel both classic and fashion-forward. This is not your typical alpaca shop—think cropped jackets, oversized wraps, and structured knits you’d expect to find in a boutique in Paris or Copenhagen.

It’s a splurge, yes—but if you want a standout piece that’s fashion-forward and completely unique, this is your spot.

Ayni: Sustainability That Doesn’t Compromise on Style

 Vibe: Earthy, ethical, elevated
Quality: Excellent
Where: Boutique/Showroom in Miraflores (Gonzáles Prada 355, Miraflores 15047, Peru)

Ayni is all about slow fashion, ethical production, and supporting Peruvian artisans. Their alpaca pieces are made with love—and it shows. Everything from the muted palette to the thoughtful design feels intentional. Think cozy but elegant knitwear you’ll wear season after season.

If you want to support sustainable Peruvian fashion without sacrificing style, you’ll love Ayni.

Fringe Mod: Bold Knits + Artistic Flair

 Vibe: Creative, modern, full of personality
Quality: High
Where: Boutique/Showroom at General Borgoño 770, Miraflores (3rd floor rooftop — contact via their website or Instagram)

There used to be an amazing store called Neo Concept in Barranco. It was magical—full of the most innovative designs, from jewelry and shoes to art, furniture, and fashion. I was devastated when they closed, mostly because it’s where I would buy my favorite brand: Fringe Mod.

While many love Fringe for their modern designs—dresses, skirts, coats, hats, you name it—they also make the most incredible chunky alpaca sweaters that I’m absolutely obsessed with. They are timeless perfection. I have a couple, and they make unforgettable gifts.

Check out their website before you go—you’ll swoon. Their colors, textures, and silhouettes are unlike anything else in the city. Fringe Mod is where thoughtful design meets artisanal craftsmanship, in the best possible way.

Dedalo: A Treasure Trove of Independent Designers

Vibe: Curated, indie, eclectic
Quality: Varies—often excellent
Where: Barranco (Paseo Sáenz Peña 295)

Dedalo is more than just a store—it’s a whole experience. Inside this beautifully curated concept shop, you’ll find everything from ceramics and jewelry to fashion by independent Peruvian designers. Their alpaca section is small but mighty, with one-of-a-kind pieces from smaller labels you probably won’t see again.

If you love discovering hidden gems and supporting emerging talent, this is your place.

Not All Alpaca Is Equal

You’ll find Alpaca everywhere in Lima, but not all of it is the real deal. Some cheaper pieces are mixed with synthetics or mislabeled as “baby alpaca” when they’re anything but. That’s why I only recommend shops I’ve personally visited and trust, and it’s important to know what to look for in wool quality.

That said, there are plenty of other shops out there—and I’m sure some of them are amazing! I just don’t recommend what I haven’t tried myself. If you stumble on a great one, send it my way—I love discovering something new.
