Cusco Zip-Up Baby Alpaca Sweater — Unisex
Effortless warmth, handcrafted in Peru
Refined enough for an evening out and relaxed enough for a quiet weekend, the Cusco Zip-Up Sweater pairs the luxurious softness of Baby Alpaca with an easy, versatile silhouette.
Its full-zip design makes layering effortless, while the timeless colors complement everything from denim and chinos to casual trousers. Wear it as a polished sweater indoors or as a lightweight outer layer on cool days.
Handcrafted in Peru from 60% Baby Alpaca and 40% Dralon® acrylic, the Cusco balances natural softness and temperature-regulating comfort with added durability and shape retention. It is a sweater designed to be worn often—and enjoyed for years.
The remarkable comfort of Baby Alpaca
"Baby Alpaca" describes an exceptionally fine grade of alpaca fiber, carefully selected for its smooth, soft hand and luxurious feel.
Alpaca is prized for being:
- Exceptionally soft, with less of the prickly sensation associated with many traditional wools
- Naturally insulating without feeling heavy or bulky
- Breathable and temperature regulating
- Moisture managing for greater comfort throughout the day
- Naturally resistant to light surface moisture
- Free of lanolin, making it comfortable for many people sensitive to traditional wool
- Strong and resilient, lending itself beautifully to lasting garments
The addition of Dralon® acrylic helps the sweater retain its shape while adding durability for regular wear.
Colored entirely with natural dyes
Every Peruvian Accent alpaca sweater is dyed exclusively with all-natural dyes.
Pigments derived from roots, herbs, berries, and other natural sources create the rich, nuanced colors that distinguish our collections. This process continues Peru's centuries-old textile tradition while giving each limited dye lot its own subtle character.
Slight variations in tone are not imperfections. They are the signature of a naturally dyed garment and part of what makes every production run distinctive.
Nearly fifty years of family tradition
Peruvian Accent has been family-owned since 1979. What began with one mother's desire to create meaningful opportunities for women in her community has grown into a cooperative of more than 300 artisans throughout the Peruvian Andes.
Our collections are produced in limited quantities and crafted with patience, care, and respect for the materials and traditions behind them. Each Cusco sweater carries that story forward.
A gift Dad will actually wear
Although designed as a unisex style, the Cusco makes an especially thoughtful gift for dads who appreciate comfort, quality, and uncomplicated style.
Its easy full-zip design, lightweight warmth, and versatile colors make it a natural choice for relaxed mornings, weekend outings, travel, dinner, and cool evenings outdoors.
Distinctive without being difficult to wear, it is a luxurious and genuinely useful gift—one that will not spend its life waiting in the closet.
