Company Profile
Michell is the pioneer of the Alpaca industry, which means 93 years of experience processing and exporting the finest Peruvian Alpaca yarns and natural fibers to markets around the globe.
Every year, we invest in new machinery, implement quality programs and assign more resources to our R&D division. We ensure continuous improvements in our production processes which allow us to present innovative yarns for both Autumn Winter and Spring Summer seasons.
We have also implemented sustainable programmes that have allowed us to obtain different certifications like GOTS, OCS, RAS, RWS, RMS, OEKO TEX STANDARD 100, among others. Nevertheless, we are committed to continue working on these initiatives towards our 100th anniversary that will take place in the year 2031.
Michell is a vertically integrated company which involves the Alpaca breeding, sorting/classification of the fiber into the different qualities of the alpaca, carding, combing, and final top making. Additionally, we have our own spinning and dyeing facilities, a knitting mill and carry 2 brands with more than 35 stores in Peru and overseas.
Michell has a strong commitment with Peruvian education and culture, which is why we founded a boarding school in the Peruvian highlands 17 years ago so that children of the area could access descent and free education. On that same line, we have been organizing and promoting an art and textile contest for over 40 years so that Peruvian heritage and artists are known and compensated for their commitment and hard work towards Peruvian culture.
