Elvang are passionate about exquisite textiles and timeless design, specializing in alpaca wool and other sustainable materials. Their designs blend Nordic aesthetics with Peruvian craftsmanship, offering enduring quality in warming throws and soft scarves.
The journey of Elvang began in 2002 after a transformative backpacking trip to Peru, where Tina and Lasse, the married owners of Elvang, discovered the rich traditions of Peruvian culture and the luxuriously soft alpaca wool. Inspired, they founded Elvang a year later, pioneering alpaca wool throws in Scandinavia and expanding to numerous countries worldwide.
At Elvang, sustainability and responsibility are paramount. They ensure fair conditions throughout their supply chain, from the alpaca shepherds pay to employee benefits at the local Peruvian weaving factory. Elvang are proud to be Fair Trade certified at the highest level by the World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO), one of Denmarks few companies to achieve this special status.
Ethics, integrity, and respect are the cornerstones of Elvang, guiding their interactions with the environment, their collaborators, and the designs they create.
