Though perhaps not the most elegant in the animal kingdom, the alpaca is nonetheless an exotic member, and not just for its origins, but also for its wool. This soft, luxurious, naturally hypoallergenic fibre, sustainably sourced in Peru, is used by Vancouver– and Montreal-based Sumaq Alpaca Rugs to create pieces both exquisite and exclusive. The Flat Weave design is double-sided, ideal for making a quick change to a tired room; all of Sumaq’s products are customizable, and each one is handmade by independent weavers in Peru. Sumaq works directly with the weavers to nurture their businesses, a happy symbiosis.
