💚 Why You'll Love Them

  • Alpaca fibre is softer than cashmere, warmer than lamb's wool, and contains natural air pockets for lightweight insulation — so your hands stay genuinely warm without bulk.
  • No harsh chemicals are used in production, and alpaca fibre is one of the most naturally sustainable textiles in the world.
  • Each pair is slightly unique — minor variations are part of what makes handcrafted goods so special.
  • They pair beautifully with the matching Loop Knit Alpaca Scarf and Beanie for a complete, cohesive look.
  • A genuinely thoughtful gift for anyone who values quality, sustainability, and craftsmanship.

🧼 Care Instructions

Hand wash cold with a mild detergent. Reshape gently while still wet and lay flat to dry. With the right care, these gloves will stay soft and hold their shape for years.

🌍 About the Maker

Allpa works with 80 small to midsize workshops across Peru, helping weavers become entrepreneurs with access to training, technical support, and the global marketplace. Their work preserves Peruvian textile culture while creating real economic opportunity for the artisans behind each piece.

The alpaca themselves live freely in the highlands of the Peruvian Andes. Their padded feet are gentle on the terrain, and they're not harmed during the shearing process. It's a fibre with a genuinely low footprint — from the animal, to the land, to your hands.
