From the Andes to Your Arms: How Our Teddy Bears Are Made

Every Alpaca Teddy carries a story — one that begins high in the Peruvian Andes and ends in your arms. From ethically sourced fleece to artisan craftsmanship, here’s the journey of how our bears are lovingly brought to life.

1. The World’s Softest Fibre

Our teddies are made from baby alpaca fleece, prized for its extraordinary softness, strength, and warmth. Unlike sheep’s wool, alpaca contains no lanolin, making it naturally hypoallergenic and gentle on sensitive skin.

2. Ethical Sourcing

We only use fleece from alpacas that have passed naturally during harsh Andean winters. This practice not only avoids harm but also provides vital income for farming families in remote regions.

3. Crafted by Generations of Artisans

Each bear is handmade by Peruvian artisans who have inherited traditional techniques passed down through generations. Every stitch is placed with precision, every detail shaped by skilled hands — making each teddy completely unique.

4. Designed in London, Loved Worldwide

Our founder, Antonia, collaborates closely with makers in Peru, blending timeless British design with Andean tradition. The result? Bears that are not just toys, but luxury keepsakes to be cherished forever.

When you hold an Alpaca Teddy, you’re holding more than softness. You’re holding a story of heritage, craftsmanship, and care — a true connection between cultures.
