Luxurious Alpaca Fiber

Crafted from 70% baby alpaca, 23% polyamide, and 7% wool, these gloves are not only soft but also durable. Alpaca fiber is renowned in the fashion industry for being one of the greenest and most natural fibers available. Its unique silky texture and luxurious feel make it a favorite among fashion enthusiasts. Additionally, alpaca has a lesser tendency to pill, ensuring that your gloves maintain their pristine appearance over time.

Handmade Quality

Each pair of Black Essential Knit Alpaca Gloves is handmade with love in Peru by a weaving collective. This artisanal approach means that every pair is unique, with slight variations in color and pattern, adding to their charm. The gloves measure 8.5 inches in length with a 2-inch thumb slit, making them a versatile accessory for any wardrobe.

Care Instructions

To keep your gloves looking their best, we recommend hand washing them in cold water with a mild detergent. Reshape while wet and lay flat to dry. This gentle care will help preserve the quality of the alpaca fiber and extend the life of your gloves.

The History of Alpaca

The bond between the Incas and alpaca dates back to ancient Peruvian history. During the Inca empire, alpaca fiber was reserved for royalty, valued for its softness and warmth. Alpaca is softer than cashmere and stronger than lamb’s wool, making it an exceptional choice for clothing. Its unique structure contains microscopic air pockets, providing excellent insulation while remaining lightweight.

Eco-Friendly Practices

Alpacas graze in the highlands of the Peruvian Andes without harming the environment. Their soft padded feet are gentle on the grass, allowing them to graze without damaging the root system. Alpaca is the only animal that produces up to 28 natural colors, which can be blended into an infinite array of shades. This natural dyeing process retains the fiber's luster, ensuring that your gloves are not only beautiful but also environmentally friendly.
