ON THE FARM: ALICIA ADAMS AND HER ALPACAS

In a world often defined by noise and velocity, Alicia Adams Alpaca offers a counterpoint of serenity, substance, and soul. Alicia’s relationship with her alpacas is tender and unhurried, a daily ritual that brings stillness to her bustling family life in the Hudson Valley. These gracious animals are the lifeblood of her brand, their rare Suri fleece sheared each May and transformed with care into yarns that become elegant cardigans, travel sets, hand-knitted throws, and the signature Classic Throw, now in seventy nuanced shades.

Each piece reflects a deep reverence for nature, materiality, and longevity. The brand’s first standalone store, opened after years of success with top retailers, is both a natural evolution and a new adventure. With capes, scarves, and alpaca baby gifts gracing its shelves, the store is a portrait of tactile refinement. Alicia’s work is not about fashion alone. It is about warmth, place, and the art of quiet living.
