In Argentina we have three indigenous groups of South American camelids. Each group has unique and specia characteristics, which translate into particular benefits in each case.
The smallest of the camelids. They're wild. Its color is beige or vicuña (light reddish brown) on the back and white on the ventral area and legs.
The Llama is the heaviest and longest of South American camelids. It gives us a wide range of natural colors: black, grey, brown, beige, raw and painted.
It is a wild animal, elegant, with fine bones. Its fur is longer than that of the vicuña. Its color can vary from beige to light brown, with reddish tints.

Those of us who create TexAndes are people with textile origin that combine the manufacturing history of Italian origin with the native Latin American fibers.
Our production is carried out entirely in the Argentine Andes. We consider it the only way to keep the essence of ancestral knowledge intact.
