Alpaca is an exceptionally fine natural fibre, prized for its softness, warmth and excellent temperature-regulating properties. Its naturally insulating structure helps retain warmth when it is cold while remaining breathable and comfortable as temperatures rise.

MILLWA places sustainability and social responsibility at the heart of its work. Its alpaca products originate in Peru, where alpacas have been an important part of life in the Andes for generations and provide a vital source of income for small farming communities.

The manufacturer works closely with local partners and farming families, with an emphasis on long-term relationships, responsible use of natural resources and ensuring that the value of Peru's remarkable alpaca fibre benefits the communities from which it originates.

Combined with a breathable 100% cotton cover, the natural alpaca filling creates beautifully warm, comfortable bedding made almost entirely from materials provided by nature.

Alpaca fibre naturally requires very little washing. To keep your bedding fresh, regularly shake it out and air it outdoors in dry weather.

For small marks, gently spot clean by hand using lukewarm water (maximum 30°C) and a suitable wool detergent. Avoid unnecessary washing, as this helps preserve the natural structure and resilience of the alpaca fibres.

When not in use, store in a clean, dry and breathable bag. Lavender or lemongrass sachets may also be used as a natural moth deterrent.

MILLWA is a German-Peruvian family business that specializes in producing high-quality knitwear made from alpaca fibre. Its product range includes a wide selection of accessories such as hats, scarves, and gloves, as well as sweaters, cardigans, lined jackets, and coats.

The origins of MILLWA date back to 2005, when the company began working in the alpaca market, initially producing items for direct sales at craft and Christmas markets. It soon became clear that even small-scale production could provide a meaningful livelihood for people in Peru. As a result, the company opened its product line to wholesalers in 2011. What began with just two knitters and one hand-knitting machine has since grown into a substantial operation that now works with up to 100 hand knitters in the Peruvian highlands, including women’s cooperatives in remote regions.

Today, MILLWA’s studio is equipped with several hand-knitting machines for different yarn thicknesses, as well as a selection of industrial knitting machines that broaden the company’s production capabilities. New collaborations are continuously formed, with a strong preference for working with small local businesses to support Peru’s predominantly rural population. At the same time, the company also partners with well-established firms to maintain the high quality standards expected within the alpaca market.

Sustainability plays a central role in MILLWA’s philosophy. The company regularly conducts training sessions in its studio, where new knitting techniques and models are taught. It actively seeks young talent, offering training and guidance to help them build a foundation for a successful future. Young knitters are encouraged to practice, learn, and bring their creative ideas to life in the studio.

For the fabric collection, MILLWA collaborates with small local tailors who craft the garments with precision. Production focuses on the finest alpaca fibres, especially baby alpaca. A new eco-collection, made exclusively from natural, undyed fibres and entirely hand-knitted, reflects the company’s commitment to environmentally conscious production. Additionally, the entire bouclé collection has been replaced with a natural alternative blended with silk and linen. Customers can therefore be assured that MILLWA products are made from pure, natural materials with exceptional comfort.
