Soft, warm, and effortlessly stylish — this slouchy alpaca beanie is the kind of everyday accessory you'll reach for again and again. Black and white threads are interwoven by hand to create a rich, textured finish that looks just as good dressed up as it does thrown on over a morning coffee run. It also makes a thoughtful, lasting gift for anyone who appreciates quality and craft.
✨ Features
- 🧶 100% Pure Alpaca Fiber: Softer than cashmere, warmer than lamb's wool, and naturally resistant to pilling — alpaca is one of the finest natural fibers in the world.
- 🎨 Interwoven Black & White Design: Hand-interwoven threads create a textured, two-tone look that's both classic and modern.
- 📐 One Size, Unisex Fit: Slouchy and relaxed — wear it straight or scrunched back for an easy, everyday look.
- 🤝 Handmade in Peru: Crafted with care by skilled artisans through Allpa, a collective of 80 small-to-midsize Peruvian workshops dedicated to preserving traditional textile culture.
- 🌿 Naturally Sustainable: No harsh chemicals in production. Alpacas graze freely in the Peruvian Andes highlands and are not harmed during shearing. Their soft padded feet leave the terrain intact.
- 🌈 One of a Kind: As with all handcrafted goods, slight natural variations mean each piece is truly unique.
💛 Benefits

🏔️ The Story Behind the Fiber
Alpaca has been prized since the time of the Inca Empire, when it was reserved exclusively for royalty. Today, Allpa works with artisan communities across Peru to keep that tradition alive — offering training, technical support, and access to global markets. The alpacas themselves roam freely across the highlands of the Peruvian Andes, living naturally and sheared without harm.
Add the Midnight Interwoven Alpaca Beanie to your cart and wear something made with real skill, real care, and a genuine connection to the people who made it.

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.
