The AlpaKnit
Softer than merino. Lighter than you'd expect.
Made from materials that were doing something useful before they became your shoe.
Better Materials Exist.
We went out and found them.
That search took us from banana farms in Ecuador, where Mauricio's family has farmed for three generations — to a Harvard environmentalist's alpaca reserve high in the Andes. Five materials. Everyone traceable. Every one chosen because it outperforms what the industry settled for.
That belief took us from banana farms in Ecuador to alpaca herds in the Andes. Every pair is designed using natural and renewable materials, chosen for how they feel, perform, and impact the world around us.
Street Style repurposed for the common good.
