Peruvian Traditions S.A.C

Not all alpaca products are created equal — and certifications are what make the difference.

The International Alpaca Association (IAA) provides globally recognized certifications that guarantee the authenticity, quality, and fiber content of alpaca products. These are represented through official “Alpaca Marks” — labels that verify each piece meets strict international standards.

The three main certifications include:
• Gold Origin Mark — 100% Pure Baby Alpaca, the finest and softest grade (≤23 microns)
• Silver Origin Mark — 100% Pure Alpaca, high-quality and durable (23–26.5 microns)
• White Blend Mark — Alpaca blends with a minimum of 30% alpaca fiber

Beyond fiber quality, standards like the Responsible Alpaca Standard (RAS) ensure animal welfare, responsible land management, and fair working conditions across the supply chain.

These certifications protect against mislabeling, ensure traceability from the Andes to the final garment, and reinforce trust in every piece created.

At Peruvian Traditions, we work with trusted partners and certified materials — because true craftsmanship begins with transparency and quality at the source.
