✨ Features
- 🧤 Fingerless Design: Open top keeps fingers free for everyday tasks while still warming your hands and wrists.
- 👍 Side Thumb Slit: Built-in 1.5" thumb slit for a natural, comfortable fit.
- 🧵 Interwoven Texture: Gray threads are woven together to create a rich, layered look that's anything but ordinary.
- 📏 Long Length: At 8" long, these gloves cover the wrist for added warmth — great for layering under a coat.
- 🦙 100% Alpaca Fiber: Softer than cashmere, warmer than lamb's wool, and naturally lightweight with excellent insulating properties.
- 🇵🇪 Handmade in Peru: Crafted by skilled artisans supported by Allpa, a network of 80 small to midsize workshops across Peru.
- 🌿 Sustainably Sourced: Alpaca fiber is produced without harsh chemicals. The animals roam freely in the Peruvian Andes and are not harmed during shearing.

🌱 About Alpaca Fiber
Alpaca has been prized since the time of the Incas — once reserved exclusively for royalty. It's supple, smooth to the touch, and naturally available in up to 28 colors. No harsh chemicals are used in production, and its natural luster is retained even after dyeing. For anyone looking for a sustainable alternative to synthetic fibers, alpaca is hard to beat.
🧼 Care Instructions
Hand wash cold with a mild detergent. Reshape while damp and lay flat to dry to keep their shape.

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.
