OUR SIGNATURE DETAILS
Alpaca wool
Our alpaca fibre is sustainably and ethically sourced from Peru. It is an entirely cruelty-free process. Alpacas are domesticated animals looked after in rural areas by local Peruvian families.
Alpaca wool has natural thermal properties due to microscopic air pockets in the fiber, which makes Ziggy Lloyd’s coats warm yet lightweight. We work with the highest quality alpaca wool which is very soft to the touch. It is hypoallergenic and does not pill or lose its shape or colour.

ZL buttons
Our personalised buttons are 100% natural and sustainably sourced. They are crafted from tagua nuts, otherwise known as vegetable ivory or corozo, that are found inside the large, prickly fruits of Tagua palm trees that are native to the tropical regions of Ecuador. Once ripe, these fruits are harvested annually by local farmers and the nuts are removed and dried for up to 3 months before being cut, carved and polished into buttons by local craftspeople. The buttons have a uniquely smooth and silky texture and a unique grain and are stamped with our brand initials.
Exclusive, limited edition lining prints
Open one of our coats and you’ll find an illustrative lining design with a story behind it. We love to work with and get inspired by creative people. For every edition of coats we produce, we commission a different artist whose work we admire to create an original print for Ziggy Lloyd that features on the inner side panels of our coat lining and inside the pockets. This also makes each Ziggy Lloyd coat a limited edition piece, available in a select number.
