These blush-toned fingerless gloves are knitted from 70% baby alpaca — one of the softest, most naturally luxurious fibres in the world — by a weaving collective in the Peruvian Andes. Whether you're keeping your hands warm on a cool morning or looking for a thoughtful, sustainable gift for her, these gloves are a beautiful everyday essential.
✨ Features
- 🧤 Fingerless Design: Open-top fingers for full dexterity, so you can go about your day without taking them off.
- 👍 Side Thumb Slit: A practical side opening keeps your thumb free and comfortable.
- 🧣 Long Length with Ribbed Cuff: Extends to cover the wrist and lower arm — 8.5" long with an additional 2" thumb slit.
- 🌿 Baby Alpaca Blend: Made from 70% Baby Alpaca, 23% Polyamide, and 7% Wool for a soft, durable, and lightweight feel.
- 🎨 Blush Colourway: A warm, wearable blush tone that pairs easily with everyday outfits.
- 🤝 Handmade in Peru: Knitted on a hand knitting machine by Allpa, a collective supporting 80 small-to-midsize artisan workshops across Peru.
- 🌱 Naturally Sustainable Fibre: Alpaca is produced without harsh chemicals. Alpacas roam freely in the Andean highlands and are not harmed during shearing.
💛 Benefits
- ✅ Softer than cashmere — baby alpaca has a silky, smooth feel that's gentle on sensitive skin with less tendency to pill over time.
- ✅ Warm without the weight — microscopic air pockets in the alpaca fibre create natural insulation, keeping hands warm without bulk.
- ✅ Wear them your way — the fingerless cut means you can type, scroll, or hold a coffee cup without skipping a beat.
- ✅ A gift worth giving — handcrafted, sustainably made, and beautifully presented, these gloves make a meaningful gift for birthdays, holidays, or just because.
- ✅ Truly one of a kind — as with all handcrafted goods, slight natural variations mean no two pairs are exactly alike.
- ✅ Complete the look — pair with the matching Blush Essential Knit Alpaca Beanie for a coordinated set.
