🧶 About the Artisans
Alpaca has been woven into Peruvian culture since the time of the Incas, who valued the fiber more highly than gold or silver. The artisans behind this scarf carry that legacy forward, blending traditional spinning and knitting techniques with contemporary design. The alpacas themselves live freely across the Andean highlands, their soft padded feet leaving the land undisturbed as they graze. It's a supply chain rooted in respect — for the land, the animals, and the people who work it.
🧼 Care Instructions
Hand wash cold with a mild detergent. Reshape gently while damp and lay flat to dry. Avoid wringing or machine washing to keep the fibers at their best.

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.
