WELCOME TO ALPACA LAND
In the quiet rhythms of the Hudson Valley, Alicia Adams has woven a life where intention meets texture. What began as a detour from a dream of Australian vineyards became a devotion to one of nature’s rarest gifts, the Suri alpaca. With her family of six and nearly 200 alpacas roaming their 33-hectare farm, Alicia has created more than a business. She has cultivated an ethos.
Her collection of alpaca blankets, baby clothing, scarves, and ponchos is crafted primarily in Peru, where the mastery of wool handling lives deep in the hands of artisans. Each piece bears the softness of the animal, the silence of the land, and the refinement of Alicia’s vision. No animal is ever harmed, and each fleece is gently sheared once a year. The result is not just sustainable alpaca fashion. It is a way of living, simple, tactile, and deeply human. These creations are not trends. They are heirlooms in the making.
