✨ Features
- 🧣 Loop Knit Texture: Woven with a unique loop alpaca thread that gives the scarf its soft, cloud-like feel and subtle stripe detail

- 🎨 Classic Gray: A versatile, timeless colourway that pairs beautifully with everything in your wardrobe
- 🤲 Handmade in Peru: Hand-loomed on a knitting machine by a weaving collective, meaning each scarf is completely one-of-a-kind with slight natural variations in colour and pattern

💚 Benefits
- Lightweight warmth — alpaca's microscopic air pockets insulate without the bulk, so you stay comfortable without feeling weighed down
- Naturally hypoallergenic — softer than cashmere and gentler on sensitive skin, with no harsh chemicals used in production
- Built to last — alpaca fibre is stronger than lamb's wool and resists pilling, so it holds its look wash after wash
- A gift worth giving — beautifully tactile and genuinely useful, this scarf makes a meaningful gift for anyone who values quality and sustainability
- Pairs perfectly with the Loop Knit Alpaca Beanie and Minimalist Alpaca Gloves for a coordinated, cosy set
🌱 About the Material
Baby alpaca is widely regarded as one of the world's finest natural fibres. It's softer than cashmere, warmer than wool, and naturally free from lanolin — making it a cleaner, more sustainable choice. The alpacas roam freely in the highlands of the Peruvian Andes and are not harmed during shearing. Their soft, padded feet tread lightly on the land, leaving the root systems of the grass intact. No harsh chemicals are used in production, and alpaca can be spun in up to 28 natural colours.
🫧 Care Instructions
- Hand wash cold with a mild detergent

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.
