These beige fingerless gloves are made from 70% baby alpaca — one of the softest, most naturally sustainable fibres in the world. Handcrafted in Peru by a weaving collective, they're the kind of everyday accessory that feels as good as it looks. Whether you're keeping warm on a cool morning or looking for a thoughtful, eco-conscious gift, these gloves deliver on both.

✨ Features

  • 🧤 Fingerless design: Open top keeps your fingers free while your hands and wrists stay warm — great for everyday wear, commuting, or working outdoors.
  • 👍 Side thumb slit: Practical thumb opening so you can use your phone, hold a coffee cup, or go about your day without taking them off.
  • 🧶 Long ribbed cuff: Extra length and a ribbed finish for a snug, comfortable fit that stays in place.
  • 🦙 70% Baby Alpaca blend: Softer than cashmere, warmer than lamb's wool, and naturally resistant to pilling — alpaca fibre is genuinely exceptional.
  • 🎨 Classic beige colourway: A neutral, versatile tone that pairs effortlessly with coats, scarves, and knitwear. Pairs beautifully with a matching alpaca beanie.
  • 🤲 Hand knitting machine crafted: Made by Allpa, a Peruvian weaving collective supporting 80 small-to-midsize artisan workshops across Peru.
  • 🌿 No harsh chemicals: Alpaca fibre is processed naturally — no chemical treatments in production.

💚 Why You'll Love Them

  • Stay warm without losing the use of your fingers — the fingerless cut is genuinely practical for daily life.
  • Baby alpaca is hypoallergenic and gentle against sensitive skin, making these a great alternative to wool gloves that scratch or irritate.
  • Each pair is slightly unique — small natural variations in handcrafted pieces mean yours is truly one of a kind.
  • A meaningful, sustainable gift for someone who appreciates quality over quantity. Beautifully giftable on its own or paired with a matching beanie.
  • Buying these directly supports Allpa's artisan network in Peru — weavers who receive fair wages, training, and access to the global marketplace.

🦙 About the Makers

Allpa works with 80 artisan workshops across Peru, preserving traditional Peruvian textile culture while helping weavers grow as entrepreneurs. They provide technical training, design support, and fair access to global markets. Alpaca has been prized in Peru since the Inca empire — historically reserved for royalty — and Allpa continues that legacy with care and respect for both craft and community.

The alpacas themselves live freely in the Peruvian Andes highlands. Their soft padded feet don't damage the terrain, and shearing is done without harm. It's a genuinely sustainable fibre from start to finish.
