Loving alpaca

It was in the misty highlands of the Andes that Sandra Velasco Jordan first encountered alpacas, which would become her passion and her life's work. From her childhood days spent in the green mountains of Peru to the creation of her textile company in California, Sandra Jordan's journey with alpacas weaves a story as rich and textured as the fabrics she creates.

With a foreword by interior designer Holly Hunt, this book chronicles a life lived between two worlds, from Peru to Chile, India to the Philippines, where Sandra Jordan draws on her multicultural experiences to create a business that honours tradition while embracing innovation. With unwavering dedication, she works alongside Peruvian farmers and weavers, preserving ancient crafts while introducing their exceptional artistry to global markets. More than just a memoir, this impressionistic portrait reveals how alpaca fibre has become the thread connecting Sandra Jordan's past and present, her heritage and her home.
