VASHON, Wash. (PRWEB) December 16, 2005 -- PurelyAlpaca, Seattle’s leading online Alpaca clothing and gifts retailer, is honoring the holiday spirit by making a commitment to the U.S. artists, knitters and the indigenous people of Peru and Bolivia who are key to the industry, while serving its holiday customers with enhanced online shopping features.
PurelyAlpaca is ready to serve shoppers looking for quality, affordable and unique gifts both online at www.purelyalpaca.com, and through its toll-free shopping hotline, (877) PURELYA (787-3592), which is open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. (Pacific Time) daily.
Among the features shoppers can expect from PurelyAlpaca are prompt same-day shipping, Priority Mail service, real-time product availability assurance, honest product pricing, true specials and sale items, personal shopping assistance and a easy no-hassle return policy.
Shoppers can help PurelyAlpaca help the people who bring us these fine products by purchasing the Aymara “Chullo” hat, which supports the ALPACA Project in Peru.
The “Chullo,” or Peruvian hat, is a state of the art item which made of baby alpaca fiber. It is hand spun and knitted for many days. The “Chullos” are a result of the ALPACA Project, a division of the Seattle-based relief and development agency World Concern.
“We’re proud to support both our local community and the Alpaca farming community at large,” said Brian Schieber, co-owner of PurelyAlpaca. “Our philosophy is that the people who help make us successful should benefit equally.”
A large portion of the sales of these “Chullos” goes directly to the Aymara communities of Peru. The Aymara people are indigenous Peruvian Indians who live by raising alpacas on some of the harshest land in the world.
Established in March 1996, the ALPACA Project recognizes that people — especially women — in rural Peruvian villages often need training in animal and land management skills, and in developing markets for their products. ALPACA Project provides mobile training teams to assist in these crucial areas, with the goal of each community becoming more self-sufficient.
PurelyAlpaca is pleased to support this fine program. Each hat comes with a flyer describing the history of the ALPACA Project and the origin of these “Chullos.”
PurelyAlpaca also supports its local economy by featuring “Made in the U.S.A.” products that are the work of local artisans. In addition to the numerous finished products such as sweaters, hats, mittens, gloves and scarves that are produced on our market, PurelyAlpaca has its own brand of artist made natural cedar, lavendar and oatmeal soaps, and sells yarns and alpaca-related items such as drawings and cards that are the work of Seattle region artists.
PurelyAlpaca, opened in 2002, devotes itself to offering new features, more customer services and a wider collection of quality products. With new designers and manufacturers getting into this exciting industry, the alpaca clothing industry is evolving rapidly. PurelyAlpaca will continue to show the latest interesting products from this exquisite naturally unique fiber. PurelyAlpaca also offers home party kits and an affiliate program for those who would like to enter the retail business marketing this exciting product.
