Commercial importation of alpacas into Australia commenced approximately thirty years ago and now there are over 175,000 registered alpacas in Australia, which is the largest population outside of South America. There are approximately 7,500 alpacas in New Zealand, 5,000 in North America and less than one thousand in Europe, making the Australian production of alpaca fleece a commercially viable business in the quantity and quality of fleece production.
Australia is today recognized as being a significant producer of world-class quality fleece. In fact, Australia exports some of its best quality fine micron alpaca fleece to Peru.
In Australia, alpacas are bred by approximately 2,500 breeders and each alpaca animal will yield approximately three to four kilograms of fleece each year when shorn. Alpacas are bred throughout Australia, except in the far tropical north and generally have a life span of fifteen to twenty years. An adult alpaca will be approximately one metre high at the shoulder with a long a graceful neck and thick luxurious fleece all over its body. They are a gentle and graceful animal and have a very curious personality. Very cute too!
In bedding, alpaca fleece is exceptional in its warmth to weight ratio, its softness and luxurious handle.

I noticed a Facebook post last weekend "who owns Kelly & Windsor Australia?" Is it really an Australian owned business?
We are a 100% owned Australian owned and operated business. The ownership of the company is on the pubic records and we extensively use the Australian made and Owned logo under a licence agreement with The Australia Made Campaign.
Despite the challenges of the Covid pandemic, we have maintained full manufacturing and shipping operations since the initial out break. We are actually struggling to met demand for our luxurious Australian Made bedding collections.
We have instigated strict Covid Safe Policies and Practices and are prepared to offer full support to staff who may be effected in these difficult times.
We were on TVSN with our Alpaca Gold 400 winter quilts and pillows with two shows in June which were both sold out.
These shows were the first time featuring our finest pure Alpaca Gold quilts and despite not being able to be in the studio in person, the shows were a great success with repeat orders required to fill customer back orders.
