Introducing our exquisite Gray Interwoven Alpaca Gloves, designed to provide both style and functionality. These fingerless gloves allow you to maintain dexterity while keeping your hands warm. The beautiful gray threads are interwoven to create a stunning textured look that complements any outfit. With an open top for fingers and a side slit for thumbs, these gloves are perfect for those who want to stay fashionable without sacrificing comfort.
Crafted from 100% alpaca fiber, these gloves are not only soft but also incredibly durable. Alpaca fiber is renowned in the fashion industry for being one of the greenest and most natural fibers available. It offers a unique silky and luxurious feel, making it a preferred choice for high-quality garments. Unlike other materials, alpaca has a lesser tendency to pill, ensuring that your gloves maintain their pristine appearance over time.
Each pair of Gray Interwoven Alpaca Gloves is handmade with love in Peru, supporting local artisans and preserving traditional craftsmanship. The meticulous attention to detail in the creation of these gloves means that each piece is unique, with slight variations that make it a true work of art. By choosing these gloves, you are not only investing in a beautiful accessory but also supporting the livelihoods of skilled artisans.
To keep your alpaca gloves looking their best, we recommend hand washing them in cold water with a mild detergent. After washing, reshape while wet and lay flat to dry. This gentle care will help maintain the luxurious feel and appearance of the gloves for years to come.
Our gloves are produced by Allpa, an organization that supports over 80 small to midsize workshops throughout Peru. Allpa is dedicated to creating awareness and preserving Peruvian culture through textile production. They develop annual collections based on market trends and provide artisans with technical assistance, training, and loans, transforming weavers into entrepreneurs and giving them access to the global marketplace.
The bond between the Incas and alpaca dates back to ancient Peruvian history. During the Inca empire, alpaca fiber was reserved for royalty due to its exceptional quality. Alpaca is softer than cashmere and warmer and stronger than lamb’s wool, making it an ideal choice for clothing. Its unique structure contains microscopic air pockets, which create lightweight garments with excellent insulating properties.
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. Alpaca is a completely natural fiber, produced without the use of harsh chemicals, making it an eco-friendly choice for conscious consumers.
One of the most remarkable features of alpaca fiber is its natural color range. Alpacas can produce up to 28 different natural colors, which can be blended into an infinite array of shades, from deep blacks to warm chestnuts and snowy whites. This versatility allows for beautiful dyeing options while retaining the fiber's natural luster.
