Luxe Alpaca
* Inspired by her Aunt Hortensia, a master knitter, Michelle Peglau started Hortensia Handmade five years ago with her mother and another knitter. The company specializes in knit-cessories — such as hats, scarves, gloves and capes — handcrafted from 100 percent Peruvian alpaca, an exceptionally light, rare, hypo-allergenic wool harvested from domesticated alpacas living 10,000 to 14,000 feet above sea level.
