WOOL GATHERING

Since 2009, Alicia Adams has quietly reshaped the language of luxury, one alpaca at a time. On a farm nestled in Upstate New York, her family tends a herd of over 200 alpacas, whose wool is prized for its featherlight warmth and softness, more delicate than cashmere yet just as insulating. From these gentle fibers, Adams weaves refined throws, airy scarves, and sculptural women’s garments that feel timeless yet unpretentious.

The palette shifts from earthy neutrals to saturated jewel tones, with silhouettes that drape and move with grace. Her flagship store in Millbrook, a luminous space she shares with John Robshaw Textiles, reflects the same elegance. There’s a quiet sense of place in her pieces, a calm rooted in craft. Whether wrapped around your shoulders or placed with intention across a bed, each design feels personal. It is not just fashion or décor. It is a life styled with ease, clarity, and enduring softness.
