Materials of Product

Avocado stitches their Alpaca Pima Jogger from a blend of renewable baby alpaca fiber and plush Pima cotton. “Baby alpaca fiber” is a reference to the finest, softest wool on the animal (typically the chest), and not its age. Baby alpaca is naturally hypoallergenic, breathable, renewable, and biodegradable. They source their alpaca fiber from a regenerative farm in the Peruvian Andes. Plus, alpaca fiber does not release microfibers into waterways and biodegrades at home and under industrial applications within 1 to 5 years. The Alpaca Pima Jogger is also made of Pima cotton, a strong, extra-long, high-end cotton native to and grown in Peru that’s known for its durability. Also, Pima cotton is typically handpicked, so it has a lower environmental impact and produces less waste than conventional cotton.
