This blush knit beanie is the kind of hat you reach for every single day. Made with 70% baby alpaca fiber, it's genuinely soft against your skin — softer than cashmere, warmer than lamb's wool — and styled with a relaxed, slouchy fit that works just as well on a chilly morning walk as it does on a casual day out. It also makes a thoughtful, lasting gift for anyone who appreciates quality and craftsmanship.

🏔️ About the Maker
This beanie is made through Allpa, a network of 80 small to mid-size artisan workshops across Peru. Allpa's mission goes beyond textiles — they work to preserve Peruvian cultural heritage while helping weavers grow into entrepreneurs through technical training, financial support, and connections to the global market. Every piece carries that history with it.
Alpaca has been prized in Peru since the time of the Incas, when it was reserved exclusively for royalty. The fibre is harvested humanely — the animals live freely in the Andean highlands, their soft padded feet leaving the grassland intact. Alpaca naturally comes in up to 28 colours and takes dye beautifully, always retaining its natural lustre.
