About Alpaca Atlas

Alpaca Atlas compares Peruvian alpaca straight from the makers’ stores, and every fact is sourced. We bring together 3,824 sweaters, cardigans, scarves and accessories from 10 stores that ship to the US, so you can compare fiber content, sizes in stock and prices in one place, then buy directly from the maker.

How we collect product data

We read each store’s public product catalog, following the rules each site publishes for automated access (robots.txt), and keep only pieces that are in stock. We never copy checkout or customer data, and we link every product to the original store page.

What we show, and what we don’t

We don’t test the garments. We report what each store publishes, quote it, and say when a detail is missing instead of guessing. Anything we infer is labeled as inferred.

• Fiber content. The percentages as the store lists them. We mark when the store gives only part of the composition, names the fibers without percentages, or only says “pure alpaca” (shown as “per description”). “No synthetics” means no acrylic or polyester in a complete published composition.
• Grade. The name the store uses, such as baby, super baby or royal. Baby and super baby match Peru’s official classes (NTP 231.301:2022); royal and imperial are brand names. We show a micron count only when the store states it.
• Shipping and returns. Where the package ships from, whether duties may be due on delivery, free-shipping thresholds, delivery times and return windows come from each store’s published policy. We quote it, link it and show the date we checked it.
• Seals. If a store calls a piece “AIA-certified”, we quote it. We can’t verify what a certification covers.

Prices and currency

Stores that sell in Peruvian soles are converted to US dollars using the official exchange rate published by Peru’s central bank (BCRP); the latest rate is S/ 3.433 per dollar (2026-11-06). The original price is always shown for reference, and your card issuer may use a slightly different rate.

How we make money

Right now we don’t earn anything from the stores we list and rankings are not paid. If we ever add affiliate links, we will disclose it clearly on every page where they appear.
