Through its promise to deliver excellence in luxury outerwear, SENTALER coats are meticulously crafted with attention to every detail. Designed for longevity, the time and consideration that goes into creating each garment, from design to execution, is unmatched.
A core value of the SENTALER brand, genuine care, is extended into the entire product experience, from the bottom to the top of our production and supply chain. The sourcing of natural alpaca fibers, the artisans who obtain and produce our fabrics, the way each coat is cut and stitched, and the way the product is delivered in our signature SENTALER packaging, serves a memorable unboxing experience for our loyal clients. With SENTALER, no detail is ever overlooked.
Each SENTALER coat is crafted individually in the world’s finest fabric, Peruvian alpaca. Hand-finished using only sustainable and cruelty-free fibres and shearlings, each signature ribbed detail is crafted one-by-one. Product features like natural cupro lining and brand-engraved corozo buttons are just some examples of the keen attention to detail that can be discovered in each coat.
SENTALER is commitment to excellence, and exceeding expectations. The beauty of SENTALER is in the details.
DISCOVER ALPACA
SENTALER works with specialized expert artisans from more than 120,000 individual families who have invested in owning and nurturing alpacas for agriculture gain and financial profit. These native workers who live in harmony with the alpaca’s natural environment have learned the sustainable ways of the alpaca industry through generations of tradition and education that provide the ability to select only the best alpaca fibers from each shearing.
Raised at extremely high altitudes of over 3,000 meters above sea-level in the freezing Andean highlands, Peruvian alpacas have lived in this region for millennia, and over time have developed hair with advanced thermal properties that keep the animals cool in hot temperatures, and warm in the cold. Peruvian alpaca fibers contain microscopic air pockets in each hair which act like a natural thermal insulator to retain body heat. This is why SENTALER coats are lightweight, yet exceptionally warm - perfect for winter outerwear.
Known for its exceptionally soft hand feel, beautiful natural drape, and incredible warmth, alpaca fibers are among the finest in the world, measuring at only 20 microns. Alpaca fabric is also hypoallergenic and will not mat, pill, tear, fade or lose shape. Alpaca fibers can be found in over 22 natural colours.
TYPES OF ALPACA
SENTALER’s Peruvian alpaca fabrics are a precious and premium, natural sustainable textile. A significant element of Peru’s cultural identity, alpaca fibers are ethically sourced through the shearing process which occurs only once every 2-3 years as part of the maintenance and wellbeing of these majestic, domesticated animals. With the utmost respect for these animal’s welfare, SENTALER takes pride in the fact that all products have been created in a cruelty-free manner since day one.
Baby Alpaca
The very first shearing of an alpaca animal is considered the softest of its mane. Essentially virgin wool, and more specifically the baby hair around the neck, is what comprises SENTALER’s precious Baby Alpaca fabrics. Lightweight and exceptionally warm, our Peruvian Baby Alpaca fabrics are made from natural and sustainable fibers that have an exquisite hand feel, perfect for winter weather.

Exceptionally soft and incredibly warm, SENTALER Suri Alpaca fabric adds grace and elegance for an elevated look fitting for any occasion.
