Care & Safety Notes:

Naturally antimicrobial, alpaca fibers resist odor and rarely need washing. Simply air between wears. When needed, hand wash in lukewarm water or machine wash cold on a wool program using mild detergent. Do not soak. Lay flat to air dry and store folded to maintain shape and softness.

Price Per Wear:

A garment’s true cost is determined by how many times you wear it. For example, a poorly-constructed garment purchased for $30 and worn 10 times costs you $3 per wear; an heirloom-quality garment purchased for $300 and worn 1,000 times cost you 30¢ per wear. Intentionally investing in high-quality garments saves you money in the long term, and saves the Earth from the environmental burden of irresponsible fast fashion.
