- Precio
- $112
Soft, lightweight, and genuinely warm — this oversized loop knit scarf is made from 100% baby alpaca, one of the world's most naturally luxurious fibres. Hand-loomed by a weaving collective in the Peruvian Andes, it's the kind of piece you reach for every time the temperature drops. A thoughtful gift for anyone who appreciates quality that lasts.
✨ Features
- 🧣 100% Baby Alpaca: Silky-soft, naturally hypoallergenic, and softer than cashmere — with less pilling over time.
- 📐 Generous Oversized Fit: Measures 77" x 24" plus fringe, giving you plenty of wrap-around coverage.
- 🌿 Subtle Stripe Weave: Features a tonal stripe woven with loop alpaca thread and fluffy fringe edges for a relaxed, textured finish.
- 🎨 Classic Black: Versatile and timeless — pairs effortlessly with just about everything in your wardrobe.
- 🤲 Hand-Loomed in Peru: Made on a hand knitting machine by Allpa, a weaving collective supporting artisan communities across Peru. Each scarf is one-of-a-kind with slight natural variations in colour and pattern.
- ♻️ Sustainably Produced: No harsh chemicals used in production. Alpaca fibre is one of the cleanest, most eco-conscious natural fibres available.
💛 Benefits
- Stays warm without the bulk — the microscopic air pockets in alpaca fibre provide excellent insulation at a fraction of the weight of wool.
- Gentle on sensitive skin — naturally smooth and free from the scratchiness often found in wool alternatives.
- Built to last — alpaca's natural strength and low-pilling properties mean this scarf holds its look wash after wash.
- Pairs perfectly with the Loop Knit Alpaca Beanie and Minimalist Alpaca Gloves for a complete set — or makes a beautiful standalone gift.
- Every purchase supports Allpa's artisan workshops, helping Peruvian weavers grow their skills and access global markets.
🌍 About the Maker
Allpa works with 80 small to midsize workshops across Peru, preserving traditional Peruvian textile culture while helping artisans build sustainable livelihoods. They provide technical training, financial support, and market access — turning skilled weavers into independent entrepreneurs. In the highlands of the Peruvian Andes, alpaca herds roam freely, and the shearing process causes them no harm. Their soft padded feet tread lightly on the land, leaving the ecosystem largely intact.
🧺 Care Instructions
- Hand wash cold with a mild detergent.
- Reshape gently while wet.
- Lay flat to dry — do not tumble dry or wring.

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.
