Zocalo Alpaca was set up in 2005 by ourselves Frank and Charmaine.
We travelled across South America for 3 months in 2003 and along the way we met many wonderful people.

Whilst on our travels we came across many beautiful, colourful items of clothing and handicrafts, which we sell through our other sites www.zocalo-trading.com and our ponchos at www.theponchoshop.com

Our aim in life is to be happy and to try to bring some joy to others.To enjoy a way of life that appeals to us both. To meet people and see new places and make a living along the way.

We also want our customers to be happy and come back to us time again.
The only way anyone can achieve this is by keeping high standards and listening to what people have to say. This is important as this helps us to help you.

It is important that we don't forget the people that breed the alpacas , shear them, collect the wool and then turn it into beautiful garments and all in the harshest and wonderous of environments.

Travelling to these places humbles a person very quickly when you realise the vast distances and heights. Crossing some of the hardest places in the world is often a daily necessity for many of these people in order to survive.
