Alpaca & Pima Cotton, Made for Every Season
Hand-designed in St. Louis. Handcrafted in Peru. Loungewear and leather goods built to travel with you — from winter nights in to warm-weather getaways.
Not Just a Winter Fabric
Alpaca and pima cotton are often boxed in as cold-weather-only fabrics — but pima cotton is naturally lightweight and breathable, making it just as at home on a summer evening or a long flight as it is by the fireplace. Our pieces are designed to move with you through every season, not just one.
Handmade Leather Accessories
Handmade Leather Accessories Wallets, card holders, and travel pouches — each one handcrafted in Peru using traditional leatherworking techniques, designed to last for years, not seasons.
