YAPA offers a thoughtfully curated collection of 100% baby alpaca knitwear that seamlessly blends Bolivian heritage with contemporary design. Each piece is ethically handcrafted in La Paz, Bolivia, by skilled artisans—primarily women—who utilize centuries-old knitting techniques. This approach not only preserves traditional craftsmanship but also supports local communities through fair wages and flexible working conditions.
The brand's dedication to sustainability is evident in its use of baby alpaca fiber, sourced from small farms in the Bolivian highlands. Alpacas are gentle grazers with minimal environmental impact, and their fleece is biodegradable, hypoallergenic, and exceptionally soft. YAPA's commitment to eco-friendly practices extends to the use of natural and non-toxic dyes, ensuring that each garment is as kind to the planet as it is to the skin.
Designed in New York and inspired by Bolivian culture, YAPA's knitwear features minimalist silhouettes with playful accents, such as hand-embroidered details and whimsical motifs. From cozy sweaters to versatile accessories, each item is crafted to be a timeless addition to any wardrobe.
