- Prix
- $60
These gray fingerless gloves are knitted from 70% baby alpaca — one of the softest, most sustainable natural fibres in the world — and handcrafted by artisans in Peru. Whether you're keeping your hands warm on a cool morning or looking for a thoughtful, eco-conscious gift, they strike the perfect balance between warmth and practicality.
✨ Features
- 🧤 Fingerless Design: Open top keeps your fingers free for everyday tasks while your hands and wrists stay warm.
- 👍 Side Thumb Slit: A thoughtful detail that makes these easy to wear and use throughout the day.
- 📏 Long Length with Ribbed Cuff: 8.5" length plus a 2" thumb slit — the ribbed cuff sits snugly at the wrist for added coverage.
- 🌿 70% Baby Alpaca Blend: Made from 70% baby alpaca, 23% polyamide, and 7% wool for a silky-soft feel that resists pilling over time.
- 🇵🇪 Handmade in Peru: Knitted on a hand knitting machine by a weaving collective through Allpa — a social enterprise supporting artisan communities across Peru.
- 🎨 One of a Kind: As with all handcrafted goods, slight natural variations make each pair uniquely its own.
💚 Benefits
- 🌍 Genuinely Sustainable: Alpaca fibre is produced without harsh chemicals, and the animals graze freely in the Peruvian Andes without harming the land.
- ☁️ Softer Than Cashmere: Baby alpaca is naturally silky, lightweight, and warmer than lamb's wool — kind to sensitive skin too.
- 🤲 Warm Without Bulk: Microscopic air pockets in alpaca fibre create excellent insulation without adding weight.
- 🎁 A Gift Worth Giving: Beautifully made and thoughtfully sourced, these gloves make a meaningful gift for anyone who values quality and craftsmanship. Pair them with the matching gray alpaca beanie for a complete set.
- 🧑🤝🧑 Supporting Artisans: Your purchase supports Allpa's network of Peruvian weavers, helping preserve traditional textile craft and giving artisans access to the global marketplace.

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.
