Oruya Universe
A sensitive approach to material
A living craftsmanship
Craftsmanship lies at the heart of Oruya’s approach.
Each piece is handmade using traditional looms and manual machines, following textile techniques adapted to each creation.
This know-how, passed down and practiced with care, allows time to be given to each gesture and preserves a reasoned production, far removed from mass manufacturing.
Baby alpaca wool
Oruya works exclusively with 100% baby alpaca wool, prized for its exceptional softness, lightness, and lasting quality.
Despite its name, baby alpaca wool does not come from young animals. It refers to the finest fibers, obtained from the first shearing or from the most delicate areas of the adult fleece, with full respect for animal welfare.
Traceability and commitment
The wool used by Oruya comes exclusively from the high plateaus of Bolivia.
It is collected, processed, dyed, and woven locally, within small-scale partner workshops, following a short supply chain approach.
Oruya pays particular attention to artisans’ working conditions, animal welfare, and responsible production, guided by quality and durability.
Dyeing and finishing
Colors are selected with care to preserve the richness of the fiber without altering its natural qualities.
The yarns are dyed using natural and certified dyes that meet strict standards, then carefully finished to ensure softness, structure, and lasting elegance.
