Alpaca Exotic Imports reviews
12Yes! An alpaca store! I love it. I bought a few things. I had to support after seeing that hat the owner was extremely nice and very helpful. I picked up an Alpaca blanket and two pairs of socks. The blanket is extremely soft, I love it
The mullet bearing owner is really rude, and I'm not a fan of the blue line flag out front.
Now he's adding trump merch - Gross
Great store full of unique products! The owner is very sweet and helpful to make sure you find exactly what you need! Definitely would shop here again!
We visited this store over Labor Day weekend 2023 and found the most beautiful blankets! The owner, Cash, was so patient and helped me pull out multiple blankets while deciding. The handmade, alpaca wool blankets with their vibrant colors and designs in blue and green were so unique that I ended up taking home 2, one for my husband and one for me to use on those cold winter tv movie nights. My daughter also found a vibrant blue alpaca sweater poncho, it will be a great keepsake from our 1st trip to beautiful Lake Tahoe.
Made the quickest u-turn once I saw all of the political stuff plastered on the walls. It’s funny for a store that sells exotic goods. You’d expect them to have more domestic goods. It’s not the most welcoming space. Sure the owner is probably just using his freedom of speech. Still, that is the type of stuff that should be posted on a Twitter page and not inside a business regardless of political stance.
P. S. I doubt the (hate) hats are made in the USA, probably manufactured in China. Spend your money elsewhere. The store is confusing as hell on what they are trying to sell here…
Yikes! Looks like Trump’s campaign HQ. Items are way over priced. Staff was nice but I don’t spend my $$ at any business that endorses Trump.
Edited to add: the owner of this story responded to my review with “that’s funny as hell”, so I’ve amended it to add- don’t waste your time going to this store with an owner like this. Plenty of other places to give your money to in Tahoe.
Walked in with our young kids and we were greeted by signs and hats that made us uncomfortable. We then had to then explain why someone would put mean things on hats and sell them in their store. Needless to say, we didn’t spend time or money here.
My family and an Asian family were watched and followed the whole time we were there. Very uncomfortable environment considering who supplies them and 40 to 50% more expensive for the same products than other distributors. This was the one and only place in South Tahoe that made us feel uncomfortable!
Just based on some of these arrogant reviews, we’re headed there after bfast. Look forward to buying a hat!
I didn't really shop around because I was turned off at the fulgar cap on the stuffed alpaca. The employee behind the counter wanted to engage with me but honestly I was too disgusted and just wanted to get out of there. Displaying personal politics at the front door is a poor business model. First amendment goes both ways. You can say what you want and I can not talk to you and walk out. Both are
American privileges.
Great place. Beautiful Alpaca fur goods but also a pro Trump store and honors our Constitutional rights to free speech and free opinions. Got this hat there and will return next time I’m in South Lake Tahoe
My Husband and I could spend HOURS in this store! We came by on our Honeymoon and ended up going in twice! They have such unique knives, jewelry, wood carvings, alpacas, and soooo much more! Thank you for making our trip so special and memorable! Now we have the most amazing souvenirs to last a lifetime from our Honeymoon!
