- $162
Wrapped in warmth and crafted with care — this oversized alpaca scarf from SLATE + SALT is the kind of piece you'll reach for again and again. Handmade by artisan farmers in the Peruvian highlands using traditional methods, it's featherlight yet genuinely insulating, making it a thoughtful gift or a well-deserved treat for yourself.
✨ Features
- 🧣 Luxuriously Soft Fiber: Made from 89% alpaca + 11% polyamide — alpaca is naturally softer than cashmere and warmer than lamb's wool, with a silky, smooth feel against the skin.
- 📏 Generously Oversized: Measures 80" long x 24" wide — easily worn as a wrap, shawl, or classic scarf.
- 🌿 Sustainably Sourced: Fiber comes from small-scale artisanal farmers in the Peruvian Andes who use traditional, low-impact farming practices. No harsh chemicals are used in production.
- 🤲 Truly Handmade: Each scarf is crafted by hand in Peru, meaning slight natural variations make every piece genuinely one of a kind.
- 🪶 Lightweight Warmth: Microscopic air pockets within the fiber create excellent insulation without any added bulk or weight.
- 💧 Minimal Pilling: Alpaca fiber has a natural resistance to pilling, so it holds its appearance wash after wash.
- 🎨 Natural Luster: Alpaca takes dye beautifully and retains its natural sheen — what you see is genuinely what you get.
💛 Benefits
- Stay warm on cool evenings without the heavy, bulky feeling of a traditional wool scarf.
- Wear it multiple ways — draped as a shawl, looped as a scarf, or wrapped as a cozy layer over your shoulders.
- Feel good about what you're buying: this scarf supports small Peruvian farming communities and centuries-old textile traditions.
- Makes a beautiful, meaningful gift for the person who values quality, craftsmanship, and sustainability.
- A truly unique piece — no two scarves are exactly alike, giving every purchase a personal, artisan quality.
🌍 The Artisan Story
Alpaca has been woven into Peruvian culture for thousands of years — the Incas once valued alpaca fiber above gold and silver. That deep knowledge of spinning and weaving has been passed down through generations, and today's artisans blend new patterns with traditional techniques to create textiles that honour that heritage.
The alpacas themselves roam freely across the Andean highlands. Their soft, padded feet leave the terrain largely undisturbed, and they're never harmed during shearing. Alpaca is one of the most naturally diverse fibers in the world — producing up to 28 natural colours, from deep black to warm chestnut and soft white.
🧺 Care Instructions
Hand wash cold with a mild detergent. Reshape gently while wet and lay flat to dry. Avoid wringing or machine washing to keep the fibers in their best condition.
