ALPACA VENTURE THRIVES
In the rolling countryside of Stanfordville, a story of elegance and endurance unfolds. Alicia Adams, together with her husband Daniel, transformed a simple fascination with Suri alpacas into a legacy of beauty and industry. Their 80-acre haven, Adams Suri Alpacas Inc., now holds the largest full Accoyo Suri herd in the nation. From this pastoral richness emerged Alicia Adams Alpaca, a line of sophisticated textiles and apparel rooted in rarefied materials and global sensibility.
Alicia, with a refined eye shaped by her work in fashion and luxury branding, designs pieces that feel both of the earth and beyond it. Made in the US and Peru, with select items crafted in Germany, her creations have graced the shelves of Barneys, Bloomingdale’s, and Saks, carrying the soul of the farm into the world. This is more than an alpaca venture. It is modern American heritage rendered in the softest wool, designed for lives well lived.
