These fingerless gloves are crafted from 70% Baby Alpaca — a fiber so fine it was once worn only by Incan royalty. Soft, warm, and genuinely sustainable, they're the kind of everyday luxury you'll reach for all winter long. Whether you're keeping your hands warm on the commute or looking for a thoughtful, eco-friendly gift, the Snow Essential Alpaca Gloves deliver on every front.


✨ Key Features

  • 🧤 Fingerless Design: Open-top cut with a dedicated thumb slit keeps your fingers free for typing, texting, and everyday tasks — without losing warmth.
  • 📏 Extra-Long Fit with Ribbed Cuffs: At 8.5 inches long with a 2-inch thumb slit, the gloves cover your wrists fully for added insulation where it counts.
  • 🪡 Hand-Knitted by Peruvian Artisans: Each pair is made on a hand-knitting machine by skilled weavers at Allpa, a fair-trade collective in Peru that preserves traditional craftsmanship and supports artisan livelihoods.
  • 🌿 Eco-Friendly Fiber: Alpaca is one of the world's most sustainable natural fibers — produced by free-roaming herds in the Andes without harsh chemicals or harm to the animals.
  • ❄️ Snow White Colorway: A clean, natural white that pairs effortlessly with any winter wardrobe.

💛 Why Alpaca?

  • 🤍 Softer Than Cashmere: Baby Alpaca has a supple, smooth texture that sits gently against skin — stronger than lamb's wool and far less prone to pilling.
  • 🌬️ Lightweight Warmth: Microscopic air pockets in the fiber trap heat naturally, so you stay warm without the bulk of heavier knits.
  • 💪 Built to Last: Naturally lustrous and resilient, alpaca holds its shape and beauty through years of regular wear.
  • 🌍 Supports Artisan Communities: Every purchase helps fund Allpa's work providing technical training and global market access to small weaving workshops across Peru.
