Question 1

What is Munaypaka and where are you based?

Accepted Answer

Munaypaka is a Peruvian luxury brand specializing in 100% Alpaca and Baby Alpaca garments for men, women and children. The name comes from the Quechua language and means "Love for Alpaca." We are headquartered in Lima, Peru, and we export to France, Canada, the United States, and growing markets worldwide. We are certified members of the International Alpaca Association (AIA).

Question 2

What makes Alpaca and Baby Alpaca special?

Accepted Answer

Alpaca fiber is hypoallergenic (no lanolin), three times warmer than sheep wool, incredibly lightweight, and extraordinarily durable. Baby Alpaca, the finest grade from the first shearing, measures just 18-22 microns, comparable to the finest cashmere but far more sustainable. Peru is home to 87% of the world's alpaca population.

Question 3

What certifications does Munaypaka hold?

Accepted Answer

Munaypaka is a certified member of the International Alpaca Association (AIA). Our fiber suppliers, Michell Group and Incatops, hold OEKO-TEX Standard 100 Class 2, GOTS, RAS (Responsible Alpaca Standard), NATIVA Precious Fiber, and RWS certifications, guaranteeing quality, full traceability and ethical sourcing.

Question 4

How can I partner with or buy from Munaypaka?

Accepted Answer

We offer three models: Brand Development (white-label production under your brand, MOQ 50 units, 3-week sampling, 8-12 week production), B2B Resale (introduce Munaypaka in your boutique or e-commerce), and Partnership (become our official country representative). We are seeking partners in Germany, Switzerland, UK, Japan, UAE and Australia.

Question 5

Do you ship internationally? What are the payment terms?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we ship worldwide from Lima, Peru. Payment terms are 50% in advance and 50% before shipping. We accept wire transfer (T/T) and irrevocable Letter of Credit confirmed at sight (L/C).

Question 6

Is Munaypaka committed to sustainability and social impact?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Alpaca naturally has one of the smallest environmental footprints of any textile fiber. We source exclusively from certified suppliers (RAS, GOTS, OEKO-TEX). Our Lima workshops provide dignified employment for local workers in a safe environment of personal and professional growth. Every Munaypaka garment is slow fashion made to last.
