Our story

At DAPH, our mission is to provide an immersive experience of the enchanting beauty of Peruvian culture. We strive to bring the culture to life through our sustainable leather accessories, alpaca fleece and Pima cotton, home diffuser line, and virtual experiences. We seek to provide an unparalleled opportunity to explore and discover the culture, inspiring our customers to appreciate its unique beauty and share it with the world.

From the early days making paper handbag model, the brand grew beyond leather accessories to include alpaca fiber apparel designs.

“I don't know if I have enough superlatives to do justice to this sweater that can be worn in two different ways that look completely different. I got the gray one. It is so warm and soft. I feel enclosed in warmth and wrapped in clouds. Great workmanship!”
