If you've ever wished for one sock that could do it all — daily wear, light hiking, long days on your feet, even the office — the American Traveler Alpaca Sock from Purely Alpaca is it. Knitted at a 100-year-old mill in Pennsylvania, these 100% alpaca socks are soft, naturally odor-resistant, and built to last. They make a thoughtful, practical gift for anyone who's hard on socks (or simply deserves better ones).
Alpaca is a natural fiber — a little care goes a long way. Turn socks inside out and machine wash on a gentle cycle in cool water. Lightly tumble dry on low, then finish with air drying. When travelling, hand-wash in lukewarm water with a small amount of hair shampoo, roll in a towel to remove excess water, and lay flat to air dry. Avoid high heat in the dryer to prevent shrinkage.
Add the American Traveler Alpaca Sock to your cart today — your feet will notice the difference on the very first wear. 🧦🇺🇸
Our efforts to reduce our CO2 emissions generated by the sending of your orders mean that today Clozist is Carbon Positive on its shipments.
With the help of Greenspark we voluntarily offset 7kg of CO2 and remove 2 plastic bottles from the oceans with each order at no extra cost to you.
Why 7kgs (15.43 lb)?
We took the average Carbon Emission of a 2lb package ground sent from NYC to LA and multiply that number by 4.
Why 2 bottles?
Millions of plastic bottles pollute our oceans every year, two standard bottles are a daily recommended water intake. We're committed to cleaning them up.
Since then, Purely Alpaca has grown from a small farm store into a leading brand known for its award-winning alpaca products, blending artisanal craftsmanship with modern design. Their move to Ramona, California in 2016 gave them space to expand, ship faster, and continue innovating with new alpaca apparel and accessories.
What makes alpaca so special? Unlike traditional wool, alpaca fiber is lightweight, luxuriously soft, non-itchy, and naturally hypoallergenic. Its semi-hollow fibers act as excellent insulators, keeping you warm even when wet, while also being moisture-wicking and odor-resistant. This makes alpaca the “smarter wool”—eco-friendly, durable, and incredibly comfortable.
🌎 Sustainability at Its Core
Alpacas themselves are gentle on the earth:
They eat less than other livestock.
Their soft padded feet protect the soil.
Even their manure makes an excellent, balanced fertilizer.
And because alpaca fiber processing is non-polluting and requires only simple soap, it’s one of the most sustainable textiles available.
