Alpaca quality fiber

Considered ‘the fibre of the gods,’ alpaca is prized for its rich, lustrous and silky properties.

For winter 2010, accessories label Magenta8 will offer a new range in naturally occurring alpaca colours such as black, charcoal, camel and ivory.

Alpacas, the source of this luxury fibre, are inhabitants of the Andean highlands and bred exclusively for their globally coveted fleece. Alpaca is water resistant, lighter, finer and stronger than most wool fibres and is warmer than even cashmere. Alpaca does not pill or loose shape, making eac. It is considered a specialist fibre and does not contain lanolin, making it suitable for a sensitive skin.

The Magenta 8 collection includes handmade tailored coats, tuxedo jackets and cropped boleros exuding femininity, warmth, luxury and elegance. The range also features a kimono-style, belted cape in ivory with golden silk satin lining.
