ALPACA GLOVELETTES
Color: Black
SIZE:2
MATERIAL: 100% BABY ALPACA
MADE IN THE PERUVIAN ANDES
Baby alpaca, made from the first cut of wool from alpacas under one year old, ranks among the top three in the alpaca market. Micron (0.001 mm) count: 22-23 microns. Slightly thicker than royal alpaca, its fibers are actually more durable, making it suitable for casual wear. Raised in a natural environment, alpacas survive in harsh conditions, so their wool possesses many functions. Its self-cleansing properties and its ability to reduce body odor through exposure to air. Furthermore, its hollow structure allows it to regulate temperature to cope with extreme temperature changes. Compared to sheep's wool and other animal hairs, its wool has fewer fine scales (the outer layer of the hair) that cause pilling, making it less prone to pilling.
"THE INOUE BROTHERS..."
The Inoue Brothers was founded in 2004 by two Japanese brothers, Satoru and Kiyoshi Inoue, who were born in Copenhagen, Denmark.
A design and art studio born out of a love for two cultures – Japanese delicacy and Nordic simplicity – they call their brand “Scandinasian”. The Inoue Brothers brand has been developed with uncompromising ideals, yet with a radically open perspective.
As a result, we have been able to build strong ties with diverse indigenous heritage, culture and artisanal communities.
With each project, their main goal is to raise awareness of responsible production methods through quality and design.
