STYLE ETC. GOING TO THE SOURCE

In a world that often favors the fast and fleeting, Alicia Adams Alpaca stands in quiet defiance. Nestled in the pastoral rhythms of New York’s Hudson Valley, Adams and her husband tend a herd of over 85 Suri alpacas, one of the rarest breeds on earth. Their 80-acre farm becomes the genesis of something far more enduring than fashion, a reverence for materials, for provenance, for beauty that speaks softly but stays.

The wool, harvested just once a year, is transformed into yarn and then into capes, scarves, and throws that carry the hush of the landscape in every stitch. Among these, the Classic Throw emerges as a signature of the brand’s tactile poetry. Woven entirely from Suri alpaca, it drapes with a fluid elegance that elevates any interior. Lightweight yet indulgently warm, it reflects a life attuned to subtlety and grace. This is comfort reimagined, an heirloom that lives beautifully in the everyday.
