Our Impact

We believe fashion should never come at the cost of people or the planet. That is why social responsibility and sustainability are woven into every part of our process.

Social Commitment

Many of our pieces are hand-knit by skilled Peruvian women, organized into fair-trade cooperatives that support both economic independence and cultural heritage. We are proud to provide flexible work opportunities that allow women to earn an income while caring for their families.

Each hand-knitted garment comes with a unique touch—a tag signed by the artisan and her cooperative. For our machine-made garments, we work exclusively with ethical manufacturers who share our values around safe working conditions, fair wages, and transparency.

Environmental Responsibility

We prioritize the use of natural, undyed alpaca wool in its original tones - white, brown, and grey shades —minimizing chemical use and reducing the environmental impact. When dyed colors are used, we apply low-impact, toxin-free dyeing methods suitable for even the most sensitive skin. Our alpaca yarn is sourced from Incalpaca, one of Peru’s leading sustainable textile producers. They are certified by:

• Responsible Alpaca Standard (RAS) – ensuring animal welfare and sustainable grazing practices

• Oeko-Tex Standard 100 – guaranteeing that textiles are free from harmful substances

• Fair Trade standards – promoting ethical labor and community development

This allows us to confidently say: My alpaca garments are not only beautiful—they’re made responsibly, from source to stitch.

Mission & Values

Our mission is simple: To create timeless, sustainable knitwear that connects people across continents, cultures, and generations. We are guided by five core values:

• Craftsmanship – Honoring traditional techniques and high-quality materials

• Fair Trade – Supporting women-led cooperatives and ethical production

• Sustainability – Minimizing waste, avoiding harmful dyes, and choosing renewable fibers

• Design Simplicity – Creating pieces that are functional, beautiful, and enduring

• Connection – Strengthening ties between artisan and customer, product and purpose

Meet the Founders

Anne-Mette is a passionate creator with a background in international work and a lifelong love for travelling. Although Anne does not knit herself, she brings design ideas to the table, focusing on simplicity, comfort, and timeless styles. Based in Denmark, Anne-Mette leads design and sales while nurturing long-standing relationships with customers, retailers, and production partners. Olga, based in Peru, brings over 20 years of experience in the Peruvian textile industry and holds an MBA from Durham. She manages operations and production on the ground, working closely with yarn suppliers, cooperatives, and quality assurance teams. With a deep appreciation for Scandinavian design and Peruvian craftsmanship, Olga ensures that every product reflects both worlds with integrity. Together, Anne-Mette and Olga have built a brand that balances creativity and purpose, celebrating the beauty of collaboration across borders. And then there’s Yolanda, our knitting expert and in-house treasure. She trains our knitters, sources the best yarns, and more or less knows everyone in the Peruvian textile industry. Her energy and knowledge are the heartbeat of our knitting program.

We use baby alpaca fiber, one of the world’s finest and most sustainable natural materials. Contrary to the name, baby alpaca wool does not come from baby animals—it comes from the first shearing of adult alpacas, when the fiber is at its softest and strongest.

Why baby alpaca?

• Hypoallergenic – Free from lanolin, making it gentle for babies and sensitive skin

• Breathable & insulating – Naturally regulates body temperature

• Durable – Stronger than cashmere and less prone to pilling

• Eco-friendly – alpacas have a low environmental impact compared to sheep or goats

We strive to work with undyed, natural-colored fibers whenever possible. When dyes are needed, we only use low-impact, certified-safe processes to ensure comfort, safety, and environmental integrity.

Looking Ahead

At my alpaca copenhagen, we are not driven by trends—we’re guided by purpose. Our future is rooted in doing more of what matters:

• Expanding our range while keeping production personal and responsible.

• Strengthening partnerships with cooperatives and ethical producers.

• Exploring even more sustainable materials and zero-waste practices.

• Offering more transparency into how your garments are made.

We’re excited about what’s next, and we’re grateful to build this journey together with our customers, artisans, and partners. From the hands that knit your garment to the little ones who wear them, we thank you for choosing quality, community, and conscious design.
