Soft, versatile, and made with real care — this oversized alpaca wrap scarf from SLATE + SALT is the kind of piece you reach for again and again.

It also makes a thoughtful, lasting gift for anyone who appreciates quality and craftsmanship.
✨ Features
- 🧣 Eyelet Edge Detail: A delicate eyelet design borders the entire scarf for an elegant, handcrafted finish.
- 🌿 Alpaca Fiber Blend: Made from 89% alpaca and 11% polyamide — naturally soft, pill-resistant, and lightweight with excellent insulating properties.
- 📐 Generous Oversized Dimensions: Measures 26" x 75", giving you plenty of fabric to wrap, drape, or layer however you like.
- 🎨 Color Block Design: Available in a classic black, gray, and snow colorway — timeless and easy to style.
- 🤲 Handmade on a Hand Knitting Machine: Each scarf is produced by artisans at Allpa, a Peruvian weaving collective supporting over 80 small workshops across Peru.
- ✦ One-of-a-Kind: Due to the hand-loomed process, slight variations in color and pattern make each piece completely unique.
💛 Benefits
- 🌡️ Genuinely Warm Without the Weight: Alpaca's microscopic air pockets create natural insulation — warmer than lamb's wool and lighter than you'd expect.
- 🐑 Softer Than Cashmere: Alpaca fiber is smooth and supple against the skin, with far less tendency to pill over time.
- ♻️ A Naturally Sustainable Choice: Alpaca is produced without harsh chemicals, and the animals graze freely in the Peruvian Andes with minimal environmental impact.

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.
