Laithwaites commissioned Steven Noble to render an illustration of a Llama that lives way up in Chile’s Elqui Valley amongst a tribe of laid-back llamas that needs to be seen to be believed. Though acclimatised to the cool, thin air, these wide-eyed wanderers haven’t quite got used to the unforgiving sunshine. So the locals started fashioning sunglasses for them. It’s true! That same off-the-charts sun makes the valley a paradise for winemakers. This illustration created in a woodcut style represents theses particular characteristics unique to these llamas.
