A T-shirt is a wardrobe essential. That’s why we designed Simple with special care, using the world’s finest natural fibers: the finest Baby Alpaca grade wool and pure mulberry silk.
There’s simply no comparison to cotton. Silk-alpaca feels smooth against the skin and breathes exceptionally. As the day turns into evening, you’ll also notice that it provides superior warmth as well.
Simple’s colours radiate with a glow that only real silk can achieve. Your new favorite T-shirt will also retain its colour indefinitely.
The moment you put your Simple on, you feel the quality – and it’ll only get softer year after year.
| Color: Twinflower |
Why is the silk-alpaca t-shirt superior to a basic t-shirt?
Both silk and alpaca wool are naturally dirt and odour resistant. Consequently, there’s less need for washing than for example with a cotton t-shirt. Simply hang your silk-alpaca t-shirt out to air and it’s ready to be reworn.
Silk is one of the most skin friendly materials. Together with alpaca wool’s hypoallergenic qualities, they give the garment a gentle touch suitable also for those with more sensitive skin.
The materials are excellent in absorbing and quickly releasing moisture. Simple doesn’t get damp like cotton, instead it feels dry and comfortable throughout the day.
The colours in silk-alpaca mix are deep and rich and they stay so, even after a lot of using and washing. Black stays black.
Simple, is simply put, a superior t-shirt.
Silk ♥ Alpaca Wool
Exquisite genuine silk is one of the most pleasant materials for the skin. It is composed of many of the same basic substances as human skin. When silk is combined with our finest and softest quality of alpaca wool, the result is a material that is supremely luxurious against the skin.
Our garments knitted from silk-alpaca yarn have a beautiful, glowing surface. This soft shine occurs when light hits the surface of the silk fibre; a characteristic that many have tried to replicate artificially throughout history – without success. Alpaca wool is a natural pair to silk, as the alpaca fibre also has its own unique glow. The secret of the sheen in alpaca wool is in its fibre, which is significantly smoother than other wool fibres.
You might not expect it, but silk-alpaca is actually super durable and easy to care for. Our silk-alpaca garments have remained almost completely pill-free even after years of use, and the knit has proven to be durable even in the very thin silk-alpaca garments. Both materials are naturally excellent in moisture wicking, absorbing and transferring the moisture from sweating efficiently away from the skin.
The wonderful combination of silk and alpaca wool is an excellent choice both for everyday use and for more festive occasions.
Finding the right size
You can either use our smart Fitle size advisor or compare the measurements of the chart (below) to your previous garments.
How accurate are the measurements? Will they change over time or after washing?
Some variation may occur in the sizing of a garment made of natural fibres. However, the knitwear has good elasticity and it adapts to your body’s shape during the first days of wear. The product will keep its measurements well.
When in doubt with choosing the right size, please contact us. Our customer service will be happy to help you!
Since the garment is partly made of silk, we recommend handling it gently and caring for it according to the silk care instructions.
Washing: Gentle hand wash with silk detergent in cool water or dry cleaning. Machine wash on a suitable program for silk at your own discretion. Both silk and alpaca wool are naturally odour and stain resistant, so hanging the garment outside to air is usually enough to freshen it up.
This Alpa® knitwear piece is responsibly manufactured in Lithuania at the production facilities of our long-term partners. Our partners have decades of experience in manufacturing high-quality knitwear products, and together we have uncovered the secrets of knitting with the rare alpaca wool.
