This cozy and sumptuously soft hat is handmade by women in a fair trade cooperative in Peru. It is made of 100% baby alpaca - one of the world's most luxurious fibers. It rolls up slightly on the bottom and features deep shades of teal with a subtle black trim. Ethically handmade and warm, this hat will make the perfect holiday gift.
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.
Makes a stunning set with our Baby Alpaca Fingerless Roll Gloves (Unisex) - Blue/Green, Peru.
