Keep little hands warm without slowing them down. These hand knitted alpaca glittens are the clever middle ground between gloves and mittens — fingerless for dexterity, with a flip-over hood to cover the fingers when the cold really sets in. Crafted in the Andean highlands of Bolivia, they make a thoughtful, one-of-a-kind gift for any child who spends time outdoors.
✨ Features
- 🧤 Glitten Design: Fingerless gloves with an attached hood that flips over the four fingers when needed — giving kids the best of both worlds.
- 👍 Smart Thumb Opening: A knitted slot at the thumb joint lets kids pop their thumb out easily, even when the hood is up.
- 🏔️ Hand Knitted in Bolivia: Each pair is individually hand knitted by skilled artisans in Andean alpaca communities, many situated above 12,000 feet.
- 🌿 Natural Fibre Blend: Made from 70% alpaca and 30% sheep wool — naturally warm, soft, and breathable.
- 📏 Generous Fit: Designed to fit most children aged 5–8 years, with a good range of stretch across sizes.
- 🤝 Fair Trade Sourced: Purchased directly from local knitters under fair trade conditions, supporting traditional Andean craft communities.
