These cozy and sumptuously soft fingerless gloves are handmade by women in a fair trade cooperative in Peru from 100% baby alpaca - one of the world's most luxurious fibers. They feature a rich magenta interwoven with dark purple undertones and trim for extra style.

Considered by many a higher quality material than cashmere, alpaca is one of the world’s most valuable natural fibers. Just ask any Incan Emperor why only the royal families were allowed to wear it!  It is luxuriously soft (not at all itchy!), hypoallergenic, breathable, warm, lightweight and durable.  Best of all, it is a natural, eco-friendly fiber and the artisans are paid fair wages.
