WEICH Couture Alpaca: certified organic alpaca textiles

Ever since Jannik Weich travelled to Peru for the first time as a 16-year-old in 2009, the tenderness and elegance of alpaca fibre has captivated him. Once a guest student in the South American country, the young man was drawn back to the Andes after graduating from high school. Jannik was particularly fascinated by the alpaca, a domesticated New World camel, because the animals have very fine wool. In 2015, Jannik Weich met David Kuttschrütter, with whom he searched for suppliers and manufacturers in Peru two years later in order to give shape to the idea of founding his own company. In the same year, the first project was carried out and prototypes were designed using raw materials of the best fibre quality. A new brand was soon born. WEICH Couture Alpaca has stood for sustainable and natural luxury ever since. The company opened its first own warehouse in 2024. The Mainz-based company continues to focus on sustainability and animal welfare. The handcrafted home decorations and soft alpaca accessories are made from selected raw materials and come from animal husbandry that respects nature..

Sustainable luxury: cosy alpaca plaids and more from species-appropriate animals

The soft alpaca accessories are made from raw materials for which no animal was harmed. Alpacas provide valuable wool with the finest fibres when they are sheared once a year. The alpaca fur is a by-product of animals that have died naturally or accidentally and are destined for consumption anyway. It impresses with its incredible softness. At the same time, by purchasing certified organic alpaca textiles and high-quality alpaca rugs, you are supporting Peru's traditional handicraft businesses. The alpacas live in small herds in the highlands of the Andes. They are primarily used to produce wool. These frugal animals require fewer resources than goats or sheep. For this reason alone, products made from alpaca wool and fur are sustainable and environmentally friendly. An efficient and transparent value chain for all parties is an integral part of the company philosophy. The alpaca farmers in the Andes live far away from civilisation in harmony with nature. The wool is processed and the skins are tanned in factories directly in Peru..

Soft alpaca: a very special gift

The cosy, soft accessories made from alpaca wool and fur are something very precious. Giving the gift of luxury and sustainability shows special appreciation for the other person.
