Dax Alpaca Company Information
Dax Meazell was introduced to the alpaca fiber while traveling through Bolivia in 1996. He saw rustic alpaca sweaters in the markets, ancient royal alpaca garments in the museums, as well as durable multi-purpose alpaca textiles in daily use by the Andean peoples throughout this mountainous region. Dax was curious why this unique fiber with many wonderful qualities and tremendous versatility was rarely seen in North America.
In 1998, Dax decided that we needed more high quality, useful and affordable alpaca garments and textiles in the United States. He returned to Bolivia, and later to Peru, and began working with artisans and small manufacturers to produce such alpaca items. Instead of buying ready-made alpaca garments with questionable quality, fit, design and fiber content, Dax created his own designs and sourced pure alpaca yarn directly from reputable spinning mills. This ensured that his garments and textiles had a pleasing look, proper fit and, most importantly, excellent quality.
Today, Dax continues this ethos to make high quality, useful and attractive alpaca garments and home textiles. These items regularly appear in the finest boutiques and department stores in New York and throughout the United States.
Dax Alpaca was founded in May 2003, in Friday Harbor, Washington, in order to present DAX alpaca garments, fashion accessories and home textiles all under one roof. This concept has proven successful and daxalpaca.com is the online introduction of this same concept.
