This Chico Guinea Pig: Plush Alpaca is too cute for words. This little love is made from 100% ethical alpaca fur characterized by its ultra softness.

Our detailed craftsmanship has been our tradition since we started in 1979. Each piece is a Lanart original with variations due to the nature of different pelts. 

What Is Alpaca Fiber? 

Alpaca was once considered a gift from the gods and the most important relic of Incan history. Alpacas are in the camelid family, sharing the most genetic material with the vicuña. They are one of the four South American camelids. 

The two breeds of alpacas are: the Huacaya and the Suri. The types of fiber harvested from each of these breeds are equally prized for different reasons. Fiber derived from alpacas varies in weight depending on how it is spun, making it ideal for a number of different kinds of products. Compared to sheep’s wool, alpaca fiber is considerably softer and more durable.

About Bear Construction? 

Alpacas perish due to harsh natural conditions usually from December to March. We treat the pelts with our special tanning process that yields the best hides for the best collection of alpaca. Each bear is filled with a hypoallergenic fiber and stitched by hand to give an expressive face. We embroider the nose and mouth by hand for a special expression every time. Our safety eyes meet USA & European Toy Safety Standards. Our bears are not suitable for children under 3 years of age. Alpaca Teddy Bear signature line collection of the most spectacular alpaca bears made, please call us at 877-Alpacas or click here for more information.
