These hats are hand knit in the mountains of Peru by Quechua artisans who are paid a true living wage which provides for their families, creating opportunities for education, savings and a more secure future.  Only the best alpaca from humanely treated animals is used to craft these hats. Each one is made from 100% baby alpaca wool. From the farms that produce the alpaca fibers to the hands that knit each hat, each person and animal is treated with the utmost respect.
