Made to fit you.
Leave your sizing notes at checkout — we’ll refine your order before it ships.
A legacy of the Andes—woven to last.
Crafted high in the Peruvian Andes, the Ines Alpaca Cape is a study in heritage, grace, and resilience. Each one is fully hand-loomed by skilled women artisans using ancestral weaving techniques passed down through generations.
Spun from wild-gathered baby alpaca wool—ethically sourced from free-roaming herds—the fabric is featherlight, breathable, and unexpectedly warm. Its sculptural drape moves effortlessly between seasons, pairing beautifully with silks, knits, or leather.
This is more than outerwear. It's a piece of living tradition—designed for modern women, made to be worn across decades.
