It is the time of year to pack up flip flops and cut-offs and bring out warm mittens, scarves, and hats from Andes Gifts. Andes Gifts offers handcrafted goods made by 2000 indigenous Aymara and Quechua in Peru and Bolivia. The company ethically sources materials like alpaca wool, merino wool, cotton, and recycled polyester. Andes Gifts is my cold season go-to to keep myself warm this fall and winter.
Their Milkshake Glove is crafted from 100% alpaca fabric for consistent warmth without overheating. Ideal for long hikes, snow days, or hanging out at a parade.
Dress up any outfit with Tres Scarf which is fashioned from 100% alpaca wool. It’s made in the infinity style which keeps the scarf in place while running with your pups or riding on a hayride.
Complete the look with a posh Upcycled Cable Hat to keep your head warm. Alpaca wool is knit in a beautiful braid design that makes even the messiest of hair days disappear in an instant.
Tag your luggage or keys with the Embroidered Initial Keychain to express a rustic and floral flair. This keychain is a simple yet cute gift for a secret Santa or a last minute birthday gift.
In the market for the coziest socks? Andean Socks are the answer. These socks come in three gorgeous colorways to pick from, are thick and toasty enough to wear on hiking days thanks to the 60% alpaca fabric, and overall perfect to wear while at a beach bonfire.
