$59.00

Lovingly hand-knitted from the finest baby alpaca wool, this charming baby jersey is the perfect choice for your special little one. Baby alpaca is renowned for its incredible softness and gentle touch, making it an excellent fabric for delicate and sensitive baby skin. Unlike traditional wool, baby alpaca fibre is naturally hypoallergenic, containing no lanolin or harsh irritants, so it provides all the warmth and comfort without any itchiness or discomfort.

This beautifully crafted jersey features two carefully sewn buttons on the front, making it easy for parents to dress their babies quickly and securely. The button closure also adds a classic, timeless detail that enhances the jersey’s overall elegant appearance. Whether you’re dressing your baby for a casual day at home or a special outing, this jersey offers both style and practicality.

The natural properties of alpaca wool make this baby jersey ideal for year-round wear. Alpaca fibres have excellent insulation, keeping your baby warm during cooler months, yet they are breathable and lightweight, preventing overheating during warmer days. This unique temperature-regulating ability helps maintain your baby’s comfort in a variety of environments.

Durability is another advantage of alpaca wool. The fibres are strong and resilient, meaning this hand-knitted jersey will hold its shape and softness even after repeated wear and washing. It’s an investment in quality and longevity, designed to be cherished and potentially passed down through generations.

Proudly made in New Zealand from locally grown alpaca wool, this baby jersey not only supports sustainable, ethical production but also ensures the highest standards of craftsmanship. Choosing this alpaca baby jersey means wrapping your little one in natural luxury, softness, and warmth, all carefully created with love and attention to detail.
