Inspired by the Quechua word "Illa," which means "light," the ILLA blanket by Sierra Home embodies the softness and warmth that brightens any space. Made with 100% alpaca fiber, this blanket offers a lightweight texture and an irresistibly soft feel, bringing an unparalleled feeling of comfort to your home.
Natural and Sustainable Materials
Alpaca fiber is renowned for its exceptional softness, lightness, and warmth. This natural fiber offers notable benefits:
-
Natural Thermoregulation : Thanks to its hollow fiber structure, it provides superior thermal insulation, keeping you warm in cold climates and cool in moderate temperatures.
-
Hypoallergenic : Unlike other wools, alpaca fiber does not contain lanolin, making it ideal for people with sensitive skin or allergies.
-
Durability and Strength : Despite its softness, it is surprisingly strong and durable, withstanding daily use without losing its shape or quality.
-
Sustainability : Alpacas live semi-free at altitudes above 2,500 meters and thrive in herds. They feed exclusively on native grasses without uprooting them, and their padded feet are gentle on the soil and the natural environment, contributing to sustainable farming practices.
Minimalist and Versatile Design
The minimalist design of the ILLA blanket makes it a perfect decorative element for any space. Whether in the living room, bedroom, or as an accessory on a terrace, its presence brings warmth and sophistication.
Ethical Craftsmanship from the Andes
Each ILLA blanket is handcrafted by artisans high in the Peruvian Andes, using ancient techniques passed down through generations. This commitment to traditional craftsmanship guarantees a unique piece that reflects the cultural richness of the region.
