S+S Alpaca Scarf
About the Plush Scarf:
The softest, fluffiest scarf you will ever own! This oversized wrap scarf is extremely lightweight, yet also holds heat to keep you warm on chilly nights. Alpaca fiber is considered by the fashion industry to be one the greenest, most natural and luxurious fibers in the world. This fiber comes from small artisanal farmers in the Peruvian highlands who work by traditional farming methods and a close eye is kept on sustainability. Alpaca is supple and smooth to the touch and because of the featherweight, it’s ultra-light. Alpaca is softer than cashmere and warmer and stronger than lamb’s wool. It contains microscopic air pockets which create lightweight clothing with excellent insulating properties. It is a completely natural fiber and there is no use of harsh chemicals in production.
Material: 89% Alpaca + 11% Polyamide Fair Trade + handmade in Peru
