About Us
At Fancy Alpaca craftsmanship meets passion and tradition. Our story begins with our journey through the picturesque city of Otavalo in northern Ecuador. It was there, amidst the vibrant culture and skilled craftsmanship, that our dreams took flight. We have created partnerships with local artisans and small family businesses, breathing life into our vision of sharing the allure of alpaca with the world. Each creation is a testament to the artistry and expertise passed down through generations, resulting in products that are not just beautiful but also carry the soul of the Andes.
Collaborating with these skilled artisans ignited our own artisan journey, fueling our passion to broaden our product offerings with unique wood and resin creations crafted by us on the Canadian prairies. We are so grateful that we can turn our love for woodworking and handcrafted goods into unique products that help turn your house into a home.
What sets Fancy Alpaca apart is our deep-rooted connections and personal relationships with our artisans. As a family business based in both Canada and Ecuador, we have nurtured bonds with the talented artisans who pour their heart and soul into every creation. Our alpaca items are sourced from small family businesses, ensuring fair prices that empower these artisans to provide a better livelihood for their families and communities. By supporting Fancy Alpaca, you become a part of this virtuous circle of sustainable and ethical trade.
