Whether you're keeping warm on a cool morning or looking for a thoughtful, eco-conscious gift, these gloves deliver on both.
✨ Features
- 🧤 Fingerless design: Open top keeps your fingers free while your hands and wrists stay warm — great for everyday wear, commuting, or working outdoors.
- 👍 Side thumb slit: Practical thumb opening so you can use your phone, hold a coffee cup, or go about your day without taking them off.
- 🧶 Long ribbed cuff: Extra length and a ribbed finish for a snug, comfortable fit that stays in place.
- 🦙 70% Baby Alpaca blend: Softer than cashmere, warmer than lamb's wool, and naturally resistant to pilling — alpaca fibre is genuinely exceptional.
- 🎨 Classic beige colourway: A neutral, versatile tone that pairs effortlessly with coats, scarves, and knitwear. Pairs beautifully with a matching alpaca beanie.
- 🤲 Hand knitting machine crafted: Made by Allpa, a Peruvian weaving collective supporting 80 small-to-midsize artisan workshops across Peru.
- 🌿 No harsh chemicals: Alpaca fibre is processed naturally — no chemical treatments in production.

🦙 About the Makers
Allpa works with 80 artisan workshops across Peru, preserving traditional Peruvian textile culture while helping weavers grow as entrepreneurs. They provide technical training, design support, and fair access to global markets. Alpaca has been prized in Peru since the Inca empire — historically reserved for royalty — and Allpa continues that legacy with care and respect for both craft and community.
The alpacas themselves live freely in the Peruvian Andes highlands. Their soft padded feet don't damage the terrain, and shearing is done without harm. It's a genuinely sustainable fibre from start to finish.

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.
