Our Alpaca Cap has been reworked with a slightly shorter profile and an updated rib construction for AW26, taking its cues from a vintage knit cap we've long admired around the GV office. The revised proportions give it a more compact, considered silhouette, while retaining the simple, utilitarian character that makes a great knit cap so indispensable.

What hasn't changed is the yarn. Spun from 100% baby alpaca wool, our cap takes full advantage of this wool's incredible properties. Unlike conventional sheep's wool, alpaca fibers have a partially hollow structure that helps trap air for exceptional warmth without extra bulk. Their unusually long staple length also contributes to a strong, resilient yarn with natural elasticity and impressive durability.

And then there's the softness. Baby alpaca's exceptionally smooth fiber surface gives it a remarkably gentle hand, comparable to fine cashmere but with a character entirely its own. Warm, lightweight, and wonderfully comfortable against the skin, it's a material that makes even the simplest winter accessory feel rather special.

    Characteristics:

    Knit from 100% baby alpaca yarn, this fabric combines exceptional performance with responsible sourcing. The fibers are sourced from Indigenous-owned farms in the Peruvian Andes, where alpacas roam freely and graze on a natural diet, ensuring both animal welfare and fiber quality. Naturally insulating and temperature regulating, baby alpaca is a wonderful insulator thanks to its hollow fiber structure. And just like any wool, baby alpaca is naturaly antimicrobial and odor resistant. OEKO-TEX® certified and luxuriously soft, our baby alpaca yarns rival cashmere in feel while offering greater durability and year-round comfort.
