- Price
- $87
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.

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.
