Shamarra alpaca knitwear reflects the natural beauty of the environment in which it is grown. It comes in a range of rich, natural colours that are as easy on the eye, as they are soft on the skin.

Shamarra is proud to produce one of the most luxurious and rare natural fibres in the world, sought after for its cashmere like softness and gentle warmth. It is renewable and gentle on the environment.

Our beautiful knitwear is designed in natural colours and spun and knitted here in New Zealand using only the highest quality alpaca. An ethical process and a harmonious fusion of luxury and sustainability, garments you will feel good in and also feel good about.

Shamarra Alpaca Farm is located in French Farm on the beautiful Banks Peninsula. We invite you to visit our website or book a farm tour to learn more about our alpacas and the work we do to ensure the sustainability of our product.
