Ana scarf made from 100% baby alpaca from Verdonna

Verdonna relies on solidarity. We see ourselves as a fashion label and at the same time as a mouthpiece to tell the impressive story of the craftswomen. The local sales opportunities for the valuable knitwear in Peru are limited. Verdonna sources the unique pieces directly, thereby providing a reliable source of income. In order to create fair purchasing conditions, our partners in Peru calculate the prices themselves. In contrast to the conventional textile industry, the label does not haggle over the lowest price. Through the proceeds of their craftsmanship, the women can now take their lives into their own hands.

Only 100% (baby) alpaca wool is used for the textiles. The valuable yarn is incredibly soft and supple. The wool is also very light, breathable and anti-allergenic. The great thing about this wool is that there is no pilling effect and the garments are therefore very durable.

The special thing about the ecological balance of alpaca wool is that the pastureland is not trampled during farming. Because of padding in their hooves, the alpacas do no harm to the fragile soils of the Peruvian plateau. They feed only on the upper part of the local flora without removing the roots of the plants.

Verdonna's unique pieces are all handmade and made from 100% natural materials. Each piece combines traditional techniques with beautiful design. The aim is to create timeless, unique and elegant products.
