Feel great about your Shawl! The Shupaca line of Alpaca wool is of sustainable practices used in Earth-honoring production of all-natural fabrics.

Shupaca is the brainchild of husband and wife Andrew and Lori Schuster. Travelling in Ecuador brought an unexpected immersion to the vibrant socio-cultural heritage of South America, and the discovery of an extraordinary fabric called, Alpaca.

Forming a brand that combines their environment-conscious minds and dedication to fair trade and responsible business practices, Shupaca combines the couple's surname and their esteemed product of choice, Alpaca fur.

Upholding this ancient tradition while injecting contemporary details, Shupaca works with South American artisans and their families to ensure products exude indigenous quality while remaining fashionably relevant. All products are hand woven on wood looms using the same methods that have been practiced for hundreds of years.

Shupaca vigilantly practices Fair Trade. Not only is our team fairly compensated, they are paid directly without other companies or political figures taking a piece of the pie that isn't rightfully theirs. Currently there are no official certificates of Fair Trade in the U.S. However, for more information please visit the TransFair website: http://www.transfairusa.org.
