Why Choose Alpaca Fiber?

Alpaca fiber is renowned in the fashion industry for being one of the greenest, most natural, and softest fibers available. It is prized for its unique silky feel and has a lesser tendency to pill compared to other materials. The Autumn Ribbed Alpaca Gloves are crafted on a hand knitting machine by a weaving collective in Peru, ensuring that each pair is made with love and care.

The Rich History of Alpaca

The bond between the Incas and alpaca dates back to the earliest Peruvian history. During the Inca empire, alpaca was reserved for royalty due to its value as the finest material. Alpaca fiber is not only softer than cashmere but also warmer and stronger than lamb’s wool. Its unique structure contains microscopic air pockets that create lightweight clothing with excellent insulating properties, making it ideal for cold weather.

Alpacas graze in the highlands of the Peruvian Andes without harming the environment. Their soft padded feet are gentle on the grass terrain, allowing them to graze without destroying the root system. Remarkably, alpacas produce up to 28 natural colors, which can be blended into an infinite array of shades, from inky black to warm chestnuts and snowy white. This natural fiber can be easily dyed in any color while retaining its natural luster.

By choosing our Autumn Ribbed Alpaca Gloves, you are not only investing in a stylish and functional accessory but also supporting sustainable practices and the livelihoods of Peruvian artisans. Experience the luxury of alpaca fiber and stay warm this autumn!
