The story of Francis O. Patthey,
founder of KUNA
"I think my spirit of adventure brought me to Peru because I came here from Switzerland in 1950. I am an accountant by profession, which allowed me to get to know different business activities in Arequipa, a city in the south of Peru, where I settled down, raised a beautiful family, and discovered the world of alpacas, to which I still belong. Today, a world that cares about the environment and its sustainability has the opportunity to recognize and understand the importance of the alpaca in this process. I would like to introduce the WHY ALPACA concept, which will enable many people to understand the contribution of the alpaca value chain to the environment and its sustainability. We have come a long way. We founded PAC together with Mr. Hugo Corzo in 1957 when we started marketing alpaca fiber on the international market. A few years later, we defined our business vision: to evolve by adding value to alpaca fiber and creating many jobs. In 1964 ...."

KUNA - Peru's textile legacy
Kuna articulates the magical world of textures and colors that make up Peru's ancient textile heritage. Full of craftsmanship and ancient secrets, whose main representatives are Andean inhabitants - growers and artisans. The application of the most modern composite technology, which is reflected in 20 years of experience in the textile sector, added to an innovative vision in the artistic field of design, creating a unique combination of history and the future. All this is in a constant effort to go beyond customer satisfaction and achieve a unique as well as original execution of the products in the world of fashion.
Collection inspired by indigenous cultures
Let yourself be captured by the magic and mystery of the Peruvian Amazon. The Shipido, Konibo, and Xetebo people, inhabitants of both banks of the Ucayali River, from its origin on the eastern slopes of the Andes to its mouth in the Amazon, are the inspirers of this collection. This consists of garments made of noble fibers such as alpaca and silk, both natural raw materials that are light, interact with the environment, and give the wearer freshness and well-being. The Shipibo, Konibo, and Xetebo belong to the indigenous peoples of the earth and are bearers of one of the most independent cultures in the world. They are skilled ceramists, weavers, and jewelers and have their techniques. Their beautiful patterns painted on fabric are transformed into songs that tell their visions of the cosmos and their unshakeable relationship with nature, their mother, from whom they have learned the wonderful virtue of putting each color and shape in its appropriate place.
The quality brand from the Andes - KUNA
This is evident in the wonderful colors, fabrics, and excellent quality of the noble natural fibers alpaca, vicuña, and Pima cotton. KUNA combines the skill and traditional knowledge of Andean textile artisans with state-of-the-art technology and contemporary designs. The Peruvian quality brand is part of the Inca Group, a pioneer in the trade and export of alpaca products. The long experience in selecting the finest fibers from the New World camelids, developing fine spun yarns, and manufacturing premium textile products allows KUNA to have precise control over the entire production process. Through its vertically integrated processes, KUNA guarantees ethical business practices and thus a value chain that respects people and nature.
KUNA receives award
for social responsibility
KUNA is involved in various social projects for the benefit of the Indios, such as teaching textile handicrafts, breeding alpacas, and providing information on environmental protection issues. For example, KUNA donated alpaca yarn to the remote mountain village of Llali and taught 117 mothers knitting techniques. 750 school children were delighted with a new alpaca jumper, while the mothers received a wage for their work and now have an additional source of income with the craft they have learned. In March 2010, Incalpaca (the parent company of KUNA) received an award for exemplary social responsibility in Latin America from the prestigious Mexican Centre for Philanthropy (CEMEFI). In September 2011, the Peruvian President recognized the social commitment and quality management in the company with the prestigious Premio Presidente de la República. We are delighted to bring this unique prêt-à-porter fashion to Europe and invite you to become part of the KUNA lifestyle - discover the textile world of the Andes.
Pacomarca - the place of alpacas
In the cold highlands of Pune, where the sky is mistaken for blue water, lies Pacomarca (the place of the alpacas). A place dedicated to the breeding and genetic improvement of these South American camelids, through the application of state-of-the-art scientific systems. In this way, the fiber of the alpacas is improved to preserve the species and bring out its exceptional qualities: Softness, warmth, and fineness that have made them famous worldwide. At Kuna, we are convinced that the high quality of our products is nothing other than the sum of the small details that are worked out with great care: Both by the skilled hands of master craftsmen and by the application of cutting-edge technology that is the result of KUNA's research. Thus, each of our products carries the sum of an intention whose main goal is to achieve customer satisfaction - with high human content, respect for nature, and care for the environment.
