ON THE FARM: ALICIA ADAMS AND HER ALPACAS
Tucked within the pastoral charm of New York’s Hudson Valley, Alicia Adams has woven a life and a brand that mirrors the natural elegance of her surroundings. With a Suri alpaca herd roaming the meadows of Millbrook, Alicia’s vision took root in 2009 when she began transforming their rare fleece into refined garments and heirloom textiles. Today, Alicia Adams Alpaca is internationally regarded for its luxurious alpaca blankets, throws, scarves, and knitwear, all meticulously crafted in Peru.
What began as a simple homage to rural living has captured the attention of royalty and design luminaries alike. Prince George was wrapped in a monogrammed Alicia Adams baby blanket, a gift from the Obamas. The brand’s appeal lies in its soulful blend of heritage and restraint, marrying the wild beauty of the Catskills with a global sensibility. In every thread, one finds a quiet confidence, a celebration of tactile serenity, and a reverence for timeless craftsmanship.
