A family company

Arms of Andes is a family company with roots in the Peruvian Andes. “Arms” brings together the initials of four siblings. That connection to Peru shapes what we make and where we make it.

From fiber sourcing and yarn spinning to knitting and sewing, production stays in Peru. One country, with the people and knowledge behind your gear close together.

Perfect for traveling

These are the shorts I have been looking for. Perfect length and sizing. I use them for traveling since they are so versatile. Due to their comfort and non-stink qualities, I use for yoga or exercise.
I have another pair for sleeping when I stay home.

Fantastic alpaca shorts!

These new shorts will be my go to this summer and beyond. Beside casual wear and adventuring outdoors, I'm a yoga instructor and just started wearing these while teaching. They are fantastic: lightweight, soft, and the fabric is so light and just flows with the shape of my body as I move from one pose to the next. I forget I even have them on.
The only downside for yoga is the pockets sometimes bunch up a bit in certain poses, and they can be a bit long and I have to push up the fabric to get my arms on my legs for certain poses. That's the only reason I gave these 4 stars, otherwise they would be well beyond 5 stars! I'd also love to see these in as many colors as the t-shirts are offered, that would be fantastic, I'd buy multiples for sure. If you're on the fence, don't hesitate, these shorts are amazing.

OK Lounge Shorts - Flimsy and Already Falling Apart

These shorts are comfortable to wear casually and very breathable. However, they are way too flimsy for anything active (hiking, running, etc.) and the pockets are too shallow to keep phone and keys in place. I laundered them once according to the instructions and already there are loose threads and piling throughout the short. I'll continue to wear these at home but not out and about.
