Alpaca Child’s Striped Gilet – Lightweight Warmth for Every Winter Adventure
Our alpaca child’s striped gilet is a cosy and practical piece of children’s winter clothes, designed to keep kids warm without restricting movement. Handcrafted from alpaca wool grown on our family farm in New Zealand, this gilet features short sleeves and a soft, flexible knit—ideal for layering over long sleeves or under jackets.
The striped pattern adds playful character to a garment that’s both functional and adorable. It’s perfect for children on the move—whether they’re running around outside or snuggling up indoors.
Alpaca fibre offers superior natural insulation while remaining lightweight and breathable. It’s warmer than sheep’s wool, yet it doesn’t cause overheating thanks to its excellent thermoregulating properties. Hypoallergenic and lanolin-free, alpaca is gentle on sensitive skin and helps reduce the risk of irritation.
Each gilet is made onsite by our skilled knitters, ensuring attention to detail and consistent quality. You can choose from our ready-made colour combinations or request a custom colour to match your child’s wardrobe. The short sleeve design makes it easy to dress little ones while allowing for freedom of movement throughout the day.
This alpaca striped gilet is a timeless staple—perfect for layering during cooler months and durable enough to pass down through the family.
