Ethical Social Impact: Proudly handcrafted by skilled Peruvian artisans
combining sustainable sourcing with direct support for the empowerment of young women.
Gentle Cleansing: Hand wash in cold water with a specialized wool detergent. Alternatively, machine wash on a delicate/wool cycle inside a mesh laundry bag. Never use bleach or harsh chemicals.
Drying & Reshaping: Squeeze out excess water gently without wringing or twisting. Lay flat to dry on a clean towel away from direct heat or sunlight, reshaping the garment while damp to maintain its original form. Do not tumble dry.
Finishing Touches: If needed, smooth out creases using a garment steamer or iron on low heat with a protective pressing cloth.
Premium Storage: Store your sweater folded—never hung—in a cool, dry place to prevent stretching. Protect the natural fibers from moths using cedar blocks or lavender sachets.
Maintenance & Longevity: To keep the knit pristine, gently remove minor surface pills using a fabric shaver or sweater comb.

Maggy @ KantuWorld Based in Charlotte, NC | Handcrafted in Peru. Kantu combines contemporary design with ethical Peruvian craftsmanship, offering premium baby alpaca knitwear shipped directly from our North Carolina studio. | Sophisticated 100% Baby Alpaca knitwear: Weightless warmth with an ethical soul

Kantu was born from a desire to bridge the ancient, sustainable traditions of Peruvian weavers with a contemporary, cosmopolitan lifestyle. Inspired by the Cantuta flower, a symbol of unity in the Andes, I set out to create a brand that celebrates both the world’s finest 100% Baby Alpaca wool and the skilled hands that craft it.

More than just a fashion label, Kantu is a purpose-driven mission. Having seen the challenges faced by young women in Peruvian orphanages, I committed our brand to their empowerment. Today, we offer "weightless warmth" to the discerning women, ensuring every sweater carries a story of ethical craftsmanship and social impact.

At Kantu, our mission is to ensure that the elegance you wear reflects the empowerment of the women who inspire us. We focus on a critical turning point: when young women in Huancayo, Peru, must leave the orphanage to face the world alone. Like the discerning women who wear our collections, these young women possess immense potential but require the right foundation to soar. To bridge this gap, Kantu provides a holistic safety net by funding higher education, securing professional internships, and offering financial stability during their transition to the workforce. When you choose Kantu, you aren’t just investing in a versatile, high-end wardrobe; you are becoming a vital partner in this cycle of independence. Your choice directly provides the resources these women need to secure a dignified future, transforming a luxury essential into a powerful vehicle for social change and self-sufficiency. Every garment is a shared story of strength, connecting your journey with theirs.
