Heart of England Alpaca Open Day - May 2006:

At the Heart of England Alpaca Open Day in May 2006, we held a fashion show. Purston put in the infrastructure and booked the fashion designers and models; Toft provided the music; and Farrlacey, Concepts of Peru, Alpaca Select and Quintessence Spring Collection produced the clothes. Jenny Randall of Concepts of Peru and Janet Cooper of Willaston pulled the event together.

Although it was a small collection, Farrlacey produced a lovely all British range of undyed alpaca wear – was this a first in the UK?

Quintessence Spring Collection presented some beautiful tailored wear in pastels and natural colours. A show stopper was Maria Bravo's white palazzo trousers, in the finest of fine alpaca. At the time of writing I have all the Quintessence samples, which can be made for you, to your measurements. Contact me if you would like to come and see them. They are warm and light combining the finest qualities of alpaca.
