Our journey began in 2015
A Brand Shaped by Material
NORGÄTE was created from a deep appreciation for alpaca, thoughtful design, and the enduring value of natural fibers. Rooted in Peru and shaped by a contemporary point of view, the brand brings together softness, structure, and a quieter form of luxury.
Why NORGÄTE
The name NORGÄTE reflects a connection between Peru and the Northern Hemisphere. “NOR” points north, while “GATE” suggests an opening into a world where alpaca knitwear finds a natural place through climate, lifestyle, and everyday wear. This relationship continues to shape the identity of the brand.
What Defines Us
At the core of NORGÄTE is a belief in garments that carry material depth, visual character, and long-term value. We work with alpaca and other natural fibers to create knitwear that feels distinct, wearable, and made to be kept.
Our Point of View
NORGÄTE stands for responsible Andean luxury: design led by texture, guided by material intelligence, and grounded in respect for the people, knowledge, and natural resources behind each piece.
A Letter from the Co-Founders
As siblings and lifelong collaborators, we have shared ideas, curiosity, and a creative bond for as long as we can remember. Over time, that connection evolved into a shared vision shaped by design, long-term thinking, and a deep appreciation for Peru’s textile knowledge.
Our path into knitwear grew through years of exploration, research, and close contact with natural fibers, skilled makers, and material development in Peru. What stayed with us most was the richness of alpaca itself: its warmth, softness, versatility, and the depth of knowledge behind every stage of its transformation.
In 2016, that vision became NORGÄTE. We created the brand with the intention of developing timeless alpaca knitwear defined by simplicity, character, and lasting value. Our perspective has also been shaped by our Croatian heritage and by building a European base in Zagreb, deepening the connection between Peru and Europe that lives within the identity of NORGÄTE.
Today, NORGÄTE continues to reflect the values that shaped it from the beginning: thoughtful design, exceptional materials, and a lasting connection between Peru and Europe.
