Little Llama

The driving forces behind Little Llama are Helle and Nicoline Løvschall – a successful mother and daughter team. While travelling in Peru, Nicoline got to know about baby alpaca wool, which is one of the world's most exclusive yarns and is the main component of the Little Llama children’s fashion collection today. Helle has many years of professional experience working with children and allergies in the Danish hospital service, and she also has a great natural focus on caring for children through a healthy environment.

Futura Jewelry

Over 2,000 tons of gold is mined for jewelry every year. Family members young and old are injured, and some even die, while working to extract gold from the ore. Local residents are often forcibly displaced to make way for the mine. Waterways and soil are polluted, while mercury and other toxic chemicals destroy ecosystems and harm wildlife and people. It is so bad that the United Nations calls it "a worldwide crisis".

Tuwi London

Tuwi London´s soft blankets and throws, designed in Britain and made in Peru, are made of the the softest baby Alpaca fibers. Baby Alpaca is comparable to cashmere in terms of softness and is perfect for delicate skin, since it is natural, hypoallergenic, non-prickly, breathable, lightweight and has outstanding thermal qualities (bringing warmth in cold weather and keeping the body cool in heat). Founder Kasia McConaghy choose the name tuwi for her brand because it means baby alpaca in Quechua, the language of the Incas.
