De Colores alpaca wool kidney warmer – natural warmth for your body
Sometimes your body just needs warmth. Not from a hot water bottle that shifts, not from synthetic junk, but from pure, soft wool that works with you. This reversible kidney warmer made of baby alpaca wool by De Colores is a silent hero in your wardrobe. Warming, supportive, and surprisingly versatile.
When is a wool kidney warmer useful?
What I often hear from customers: “I wish I’d had this sooner.” This kidney warmer is frequently worn for a stiff or painful lower back, during menstruation, after childbirth, or simply if you get cold easily around your stomach and lower back. The wool takes on your body heat and retains it without becoming stuffy.
And yes, there was even a customer who used it after childbirth over her chest to help with the onset of mastitis. That really says it all.
Why baby alpaca wool is so special
This kidney warmer is made of 98% baby alpaca wool and 2% elastane. Baby alpaca is extremely soft, does not itch, and is naturally temperature-regulating. The addition of elastane ensures the kidney warmer fits nicely and doesn't lose its shape, even with frequent wear.
Wool acts as an insulating layer: it keeps heat where you need it, but still allows your skin to breathe. This also makes it perfect to wear invisibly under your clothes.
Reversible & unisex – two looks in one
This kidney warmer is wearable on both sides. Each version has a colored exterior and a dark anthracite interior. In the mood for something subtle or perhaps a pop of color? Just turn it inside out.
And no, this is not a "women’s product." It is completely unisex. The photos mainly show women, but men wear it just as well. In fact, women sometimes even wear it as a mini skirt. That works too.
Fit & sizes
Thanks to its stretchy structure, the kidney warmer adapts beautifully to your body. It does not pinch, does not show through clothing, and stays in place.

Maintenance – almost no work
Alpaca wool is self-cleaning. Simply airing it out after wearing is usually sufficient. If you do want to wash it, use a special alpaca detergent like Washpaca and wash it carefully. You don't need to do it often, really.
Sustainable & fairly made
De Colores works with small-scale workshops in Peru, where the alpaca wool originates. Production takes place under fair conditions and with respect for people and animals. Warmth with a good story, then.
