Item Description
A fair trade scarf keeps necks (and hearts) warm.
These best-selling fair trade alpaca scarves are beautifully woven of 100% eco-friendly baby alpaca, 71 inches long by 12 inches wide. This teal alpaca scarf will be a fabulous addition to any wardrobe! One size.
Since ancient times, the alpaca has been the cultural symbol of Peru — its fleece was cherished by members of the Incan civilization and referred to as "The Fiber of the Gods." Today, alpaca is also the key to helping more than 150,000 of the poorest families in the Andes Mountain region of Peru who rely on the alpaca for their prime source of income. Many of these herders have recently banded together to sell to factories in bulk. By dealing directly with factories, they are able to cut out middlemen and receive a higher percentage of profits. In turn, our alpaca factory also contributes part of its profits back into the community to benefit education and health care programs.
