These adorable, handmade 100% Alpaca and Merino fleece booties make the perfect baby shower, christening or layette gift.
The super soft, fluffy upper and soft natural suede sole is so delicate and warm against babies skin. These baby booties are 11cm in length so are suitable for babies around 0-9 months old.
Sewn by skilled artisans whoose painstaking traditions have been passed down from one generation to the next, only the finest Peruvian Huacaya and Suri Alpaca fur has been selected to make these gorgeous baby booties. The fur has been left undyed to leave it's natural character and colour and be kind to baby's delicate skin.
The fur used is from Alpaca that have died of natural causes - from baby Alpacas - or 'cria' as they are known; the younger, weaker animals often perish in the harsh Andean winter. Alpacas can live for 20 years, promising a lifetime of shearing potencial far greater value than a single pelt and so no Alpacas have been killed for the fur used in these booties.
