Women's 21st Century Zip Alpaca Cardigan

$185.00

One Zipper, Two Looks — Worn open, it drapes as a relaxed alpaca cardigan. Zipped to the tip of the collar, the European-made Italian zipper creates a clean mock neck — two distinctly different silhouettes from a single piece.
Sleeves That Fit Your Day — Set-in long sleeves can be folded to your preferred length, so the cardigan adapts to business casual or weekend wear without any compromise. True to size, or size up for a slouchy fit.
Alpaca Warmth, No Weight — Woven from 100% alpaca wool, this cardigan is genuinely warm without the bulk — lighter than wool, naturally hypoallergenic, and breathable enough to wear all day.
Fair Trade & IAA Certified — Made in Peru under Fair Trade guidelines, certified authentic by the International Alpaca Association. Available in both dyed shades and dye-free Driftwood — something for every wardrobe. Learn more about our Pure Alpaca guarantee here.

Product Details

Most cardigans have one mood. The 21st Century Zip offers two. Worn open, it falls as a relaxed, ribbed alpaca layer — textured vertical ribs, a slight banded hem, set-in long sleeves you can fold to any length. Zip it closed to the tip of the collar and it becomes something else entirely: a clean mock-neck silhouette with a European-made Italian zipper that runs the full length, reading polished enough for business, considered enough for anywhere. Woven from 100% alpaca wool, it is warm without weight, naturally hypoallergenic, and available in both dyed colorways and the dye-free Driftwood shade.

Made in Peru under Fair Trade guidelines and certified authentic by the International Alpaca Association, the 21st Century Zip is the cardigan that earns a permanent place in the wardrobe — and makes a quietly exceptional gift for anyone who has earned one.
