Animana

We work with the finest raw materials from Patagonia and the Andes obtained from llamas, alpacas, vicunas and guanacos. Patagonian Merino wool - a native organic cotton variety which offers a wide range of natural colors- silk and alpaca metal (nickel silver) are also used. Every product starts by breeding South American camelids in a manner that preserves the native species and their ecosystem. The camelids roam free in large pastures in the Andes and Patagonia. Using manual processes, they are then sheared and the finest fibers are selected. The resulting fibers offer a wide variety of colors (ranging from white and light beige to intense blacks) and are separated from one another accordingly. Artisans then spin the fibers by hand and dye them with pigments made from native plants, reviving the techniques inherited from their rich Patagonian and Andean history. As a result, each item maintains the uniqueness and quality of each individual fiber. Each one is selected for their softness and delicacy to ensure that our wares are look and feel luxurious and comfortable. We strive to produce timeless products created in Patagonia and the Andes using a rich local tradition of arts and crafts that embody both integrity and comfort. The design of each product allows the raw materials to speak for itself in quality, comfort and design. And by harnessing the beauty of our ancestral techniques while producing contemporary design aesthetics, we preserve their legacy, finding them a home in the modern world.
