For decades, Peruvian Andean families have carefully sheared vicuñas, preserving a generational tradition, while luxury brands profit.

But here’s the real issue: out of these expensive garments, only $280 reaches the communities doing the work.

Loro Piana, known for $34,000 coats, faces scrutiny over fair compensation. The brand claims payments go directly to communities, but reports suggest many workers aren’t paid individually.

The good news? 🌿
Pressure is driving change! Increased audits and funding for infrastructure, healthcare, and education are now reaching 15 communities.

Schools, clean water, and sustainable income could become reality if supply chains are made fairer.

🛍 Luxury shouldn’t just be about status—it should also be about responsibility.
