YAPA

YAPA is a New York-designed, Bolivia-made knitwear label rooted in Andean craft and modern citywear. Founded by designer Bernarda Pelaez, the brand specializes in 100 percent baby alpaca knitwear and natural-fiber pieces that are built to last beyond trends. Collections span womenswear knitwear, outerwear, scarves, hats, gloves, and alpaca accessorized items like knitted bags, all crafted by skilled Bolivian artisans using centuries-old techniques. The design philosophy centers on slow fashion, ethical production, and investment-grade quality; pieces meant to wear for years rather than seasons. YAPA blends rich heritage with contemporary silhouettes, offering a refined, cozy palette for shoppers seeking timeless, elevated pieces that elevate everyday wardrobes.
