Meet your new favourite cold-weather staple. This army green knit beanie is made from 70% baby alpaca — one of the softest, most sustainable natural fibres in the world — and handcrafted by a weaving collective in Peru. Wear it slouched back for an effortless everyday look, or pull it down when the temperature drops. It's the kind of hat you'll reach for every single morning.
✨ Features
- 🧶 Baby Alpaca Blend: 70% Baby Alpaca, 23% Polyamide, 7% Wool — naturally soft, lightweight, and less prone to pilling than standard wool
- 🎨 Colour: Army Green — a versatile, earthy tone that pairs with almost everything
- 📐 Fit: One size, unisex — the relaxed slouchy shape works for all head sizes
- 🤝 Handmade in Peru: Knitted on a hand knitting machine by Allpa, a collective supporting 80+ small artisan workshops across Peru
- 🌿 Sustainable Fibre: Alpaca is a natural, chemical-free fibre — alpacas roam freely in the Peruvian Andes and are not harmed during shearing
- 🎁 One of a Kind: Slight natural variations in each piece mean no two beanies are exactly alike
- 🧼 Care: Hand wash cold with mild detergent, reshape while wet, and lay flat to dry
💚 Benefits

🌍 About the Maker — Allpa, Peru
Allpa works with over 80 small to mid-size workshops across Peru, developing annual collections that celebrate Peruvian textile culture while giving artisans access to the global marketplace. Through training, technical support, and microloans, Allpa transforms skilled weavers into thriving entrepreneurs. When you wear this beanie, you're part of that story.
Alpaca has been prized since the time of the Inca — reserved for royalty because of its extraordinary quality. Today, alpacas still graze freely in the Andean highlands. Their soft, padded feet don't damage the terrain, and their fibre comes in up to 28 natural colours. No harsh chemicals. No shortcuts. Just honest, beautiful craft.
