About

We create responsibly produced textiles which combine timeless Nordic design with exquisite Peruvian craftsmanship.

Our story is one of ethics, integrity and respect. It began in 2002, when our founders Tina and Lasse Elvang learned about the qualities of alpaca wool during a backpacking trip to Peru. Struck by its softness and durability, they set about blending elegant, pared-back aesthetics with centuries-old Peruvian weaving traditions, forging strong relationships with artisans, community projects and mills. A year later Elvang was born, becoming the first company to introduce throws made of alpaca wool to Scandinavia.

Today, our luxurious homewares and accessories are sold in numerous countries worldwide, but our social and environmental commitment remains unchanged. Making responsible choices lies at the heart of everything we do, from securing better pay for alpaca shepherds and employee benefits for weavers to reducing transport emissions, recycling packaging and repurposing fibres. This has led to the highest possible level of recognition within the World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO) as a Guaranteed Member and participation in the UN Global Compact Initiative, ensuring that our supply chains and business model put people, the planet and animals first.
