DE COLORES baby alpaca wool leg warmers solid color
Cold lower legs while the rest of your outfit is already spot on? This is one of those products where you think: why haven't I had these before. These alpaca wool leg warmers from De Colores are soft, warm, stylish, and ethically made – and believe me: once you wear them, you’ll never want to be without them again.
Why these alpaca leg warmers are so wonderful
They are made from 100% baby alpaca wool. And you can feel it immediately. Alpaca wool is warmer than sheep's wool, but much lighter in weight. And because this is baby alpaca, it doesn't itch. Really, not at all. Even on bare skin. What I often hear in the shop: "They just feel luxurious, but without the fuss."
Warm without pinching
Thanks to the ribbed structure, these leg warmers are extremely stretchy. Narrow calves, wide calves, over leggings, or over tights – they adapt effortlessly. They are about 40 cm long and fit nicely without sliding down or constricting. Ideal against drafts, especially with wide-leg trousers or skirts.
How do you wear them?
Roll them up a bit above your ankles for a casual look, pull them up high under wide trousers, or wear them visibly over tights or leggings. They give every outfit that little bit of extra color and warmth. And yes: they are unisex, so they are also very nice for men with cold legs.
Sustainable and ethically made in Peru
De Colores works together with three Fairtrade certified workshops in Arequipa, in the south of Peru. There, the alpaca wool is locally processed into yarn and ultimately into these beautiful leg warmers. This way, the value stays where the raw material comes from. That just feels better.
Washing? Better not
Alpaca wool is self-cleaning. A quick airing out is usually more than enough. If you do need to wash them, use a special alpaca detergent such as Washpaca. That is gentle on the fiber and keeps them beautiful. But honestly: often washing isn't necessary at all.
