🏔️ About the Makers
Allpa works with 80 small to mid-size workshops across Peru, supporting artisans with training, technical assistance, and access to global markets. Their mission is to preserve Peruvian textile culture while turning skilled weavers into independent entrepreneurs.
Alpaca has been prized since the time of the Incas — reserved for royalty and valued above all other fibers. Today, alpaca is still considered one of the world's finest natural materials. The animals roam freely in the Peruvian highlands and are not harmed during shearing. Their soft-padded feet protect the grasslands they graze, and they produce up to 28 natural colors — no harsh dyes needed.
Add these Autumn Ribbed Baby Alpaca Fingerless Gloves to your cart today — your hands (and your values) will thank you.

About SLATE + SALT
Slate + Salt is a socially conscious lifestyle brand offering a curated collection of modern, one-of-a-kind pieces handcrafted by artisans around the world. Their collections include jewelry, accessories, textiles, and decorative objects — all created using traditional techniques and fair trade practices.
Their mission is simple and powerful: to connect modern design with ancient craftsmanship, while supporting dignified work opportunities in communities facing extreme poverty.
Slate + Salt works closely with small social enterprises and Fair Trade cooperatives to ensure that every product supports ethical production, fair wages, and long-term economic empowerment — especially for women artisans.
Every item has a story.
Behind each piece is a person, a family, and a community. By choosing ethically produced goods, you help artisans remain in their villages, support their families, educate their children, and preserve cultural traditions that might otherwise disappear.
Because all products are handmade and often hand-dyed, each piece is naturally unique. Slight variations are part of their beauty — a reminder that these are not mass-produced objects, but human creations made with care.
Slate + Salt was founded by an avid traveler who fell in love with the people, cultures, and craftsmanship she encountered across developing countries. Through deep relationships with artisan groups and Fair Trade partners, the brand brings meaningful, ever-evolving collections to a global community that values beauty with purpose.
At Clozist, we are proud to feature Slate + Salt because their work reflects what we believe in: products that are beautiful, ethical, meaningful — and that create positive impact through everyday choices.
