Every reason, every season
Soft
Made from the world’s softest natural fibres such as suri alpaca, silk and cashmere and designed to be seam and label free. So soft you’ll forget you have it on.
Gentle
Designed with neutral ease for a gentle yet secure fit. Not too big that they slip or blow away, not too small that they rub, grip or feel tight. Naturally friction-free, Alopaca hats protect new growth and reduce loss.
Beautiful
As beautiful as they are functional - Alopaca hats are a delight to eye as well as the touch. Mix and match with your outfits for understated elegance or a cool style statement.
Light
Our yarn is specially selected for its hollow fibres and soft haze. Weighing less than 28 grams, Alopaca hats are so light, you’ll find yourself forgetting you’ve got them on.
Temperature regulating
Warm when you want it and cool when you need it, Alopaca hats are naturally breathable and temperature regulating . Perfect inside, outside and in every season.
Secure
When coverage is a consideration, these cute little cloche style hats will offer the protection and security you need to face the world without explanation.
Natural
As gentle on the environment as they are on your head, Alopaca hats are made from 100% natural fibres which are hand dyed in small batches.
Hypoallergenic
Naturally hypoallergenic, the yarns we select ensure that Alopaca hats are both itch and sneeze free.
Easy to wear
With no seams, labels or ‘right way round’, Alopaca hats are super quick to pull on and even easier to wear. Perfectly pocket sized for the ultimate convenience.

Hand knitted House Hat
Alopaca use the finest natural fibres sourced from artisan spinners who hand dye each skein in small batches. With a limited run of up to 6 hats in any one colour way and each hat displaying a unique pattern, no two hats are ever the same. Made to fit your head just the way you like it, we offer a bespoke and highly individual service.
We are currently in the end stage design process with a local manufacturer who has faithfully recreated our hand knit house hats using an Italian yarn made from Suri Alpaca, Silk and Finest Merino wool. Please check back for more info and pricing.
