Kuna

Kuna may be considered Peru’s version of Benetton. It has shops all over Peru, including in the airport in Lima, in the seafront mall Larcomar, on the main plaza in Cusco and in the Hotel Monasterio. It now also has outposts in Argentina, Chile, even Dubai. Fine alpaca is part of everything it sells—from men’s and women’s sweaters and coats to scarves, hats and gloves—but its designs are very fashionable. Some scarves may be 85 percent baby alpaca and 15 percent silk; many are in bright, fun colors. If you want to buy alpaca items that you will definitely wear at home, you will find the best selection and prices here. During sale time, you may find the best items in the hotel shops, which are less trafficked than those in airports or major shopping streets. There is a branch in the Hotel Monasterio.
