Vaquita Porpoise: Felted Alpaca Sculpture

Meet our charming Porpoise pal—a delightful alpaca fiber creation inspired by one of the ocean's most vulnerable creatures. The vaquita porpoise, native to Mexico's Gulf of California, faces serious conservation challenges, and we're passionate about raising awareness for their survival. Handcrafted with care, each piece celebrates these magnificent marine mammals while supporting habitat protection efforts. No two are exactly alike, making your porpoise a one-of-a-kind companion with a purpose. 

What makes this special:

• Realistic details - authentic features and character carefully needle-felted

• Premium alpaca fiber - softer and more artistic than traditional wool felting

• Dual display options - includes hanging loop or stands beautifully on any surface

• Handcrafted artistry - each piece individually created with attention to detail

• Perfect size - stands a few inches tall, ideal for shelves, desks, or collections

Each sculpture is lovingly created by skilled artisans in Arequipa, Peru, with faces sewn and detailed by hand. Due to the handcrafting process, every piece is unique with slight natural variations - making yours truly one-of-a-kind.

A bit of our felting history:

Lanart pioneered alpaca needle felting in Peru nearly 20 years ago, training a team of artisans in a craft that had traditionally only been practiced with wool. Today, every piece is still authentically handmade by those same skilled artisans—bringing originality, heritage, and genuine alpaca fiber to every little felted critter.
