Why We ♥ Samantha Holmes Alpaca: Handmade, Woman-Owned, Social Good

Originally an Art and Languages graduate from Edinburgh University, Samantha found her first inspiration for luxury fabrics and traditional craftsmanship in Nepal from where she imported cashmere from a small hand weaving cooperative. But it was on discovering alpaca, that she found her niche. Samantha travelled to Peru to connect with small knitting collectives, most of whom she still works with today. Together they continue to produce exclusive collections of handcrafted luxury gifts, fashion accessories, Alpaca babywear and Alpaca home ware, using only the finest alpaca wool.
