Cambridge Baby Reviews

Got lovely things here, particularly the Pick a Poo hat (which I hope you are selling in the size up), Best Baby Socks in Organic wool and silk/merino tops by Engel. Also basic merino body, which washed better than the silk/merino tops although did not look so cute. All were fantastic. I'm done with hand-washing heaps of woollens though. Living in the middle of nowhere is incredibly time consuming due to having to spend hours in the car so everything else needs to be easy!! Jumpers and socks are enough hand-washing for me from now on! ..

In softest baby Alpaca wool, these wrist warmers with thumb are ribbed for a snug fit and come in heavenly colours - and colour is De Colores speciality!

100% pure Alpaca
Soft, warm, breathable comfort for your wrists and hands
Wear outside or in, and they're ideal for working at the laptop!

This is ethically made from 100% Baby Alpaca fibre.

The Alpaca is a mammal that lives in high altitudes in South America and has a wonderful fleece that keeps it comfortable at a wide range of temperatures. Alpacas are seasonally shorn of their fleece which is combed and cleaned and made into these gorgeous clothes.

Baby Alpaca is a very fine grade of alpaca fibre, often from the belly of grown-up alpacas, not necessarily from actual baby alpacas. It's around 19-21 micron in diameter.

Alpaca clothing has heaps of benefits for your child and family as it is actually superior to Merino wool in a number of ways!

Warmth. Alpaca fleece is unique in that it consists of hollow cells. It demonstrates perfect thermo-regulatory properties: alpaca fibre is ideal in cold weather conditions, and protects the child’s body from overheating when it is warm. It is much lighter than wool for the same warmth.
Moisture resistance. Alpaca wool is naturally breathable and does not retain moisture, but allows perspiration to evaporate.
Softness. Baby alpaca is super-soft, in the category of luxurious fibres such as cashmere. It's suitable for people with sensitivity to wool as it is smoother and usually finer..
Lightweight. It's easy to be warm and free to move freely with lightweight alpaca.
Durability. The Alpaca fibre is soft, smooth, elastic and strong! It doesn't felt as quickly as wool and is more durable, making high quality fabric that lasts and lasts and lasts, not just for one or two children but many.
Eco-friendly. Alpaca has an entirely natural origin and requires very little processing.
Stain resistant. Alpaca is naturally stain resistant which means you won’t have to wash it as often. As with wool, simply hang to air instead.

To look after your pure Alpaca clothing is simple. Alpaca is resistant to dirt and releases it easily, so after wearing, simply hang to air. There will be no need to wash it very often at all.

If you need to wash it, hand-wash in lukewarm water, cool to tepid, no more than 30C.

Use a liquid detergent designed to protect natural fibres for wool as sold in our fabric care category here.

Gently squeeze water through, avoiding any rubbing or wringing action.

Rinse at the same lukewarm, tepid temperature avoiding temperature change. Gently squeeze the water through.

Lay out on a towel, and then gently roll it up to remove excess water. Do not wring or twist the garment.

Lay flat to dry, re-shaping while damp. Avoid direct heat and sunlight.

De Colores is a German brand based in Berlin. Since 2005, they have been producing in Peru a range of high quality products made from 100% baby alpaca sourced from small scale producers, without bleaching or treating. As well as following strict ethical standards in working practices, making their fibres sustainable, fairtrade and ethical.

At Cambridge Baby, we simply fell in love with De Colores's products because

they are of outstanding quality
they are expertly designed
they are very, very soft!
they are very warm
they have amazing colours!

We hope you love them as much as we do!

Love these gloves! Whilst shopping for other family members last Christmas I decided to buy these for myself to wear when I work at home. Honestly the knit is really fine and beautifully made. I can type as they are not bulky and they look as good this year as when I bought them.

"Really high quality. Hold their shape."

This was washed... washed fine

This was worn by... Me!

Sizing: Feels true to size

I'd recommend this to a friend.

Nice and soft, lovely colour

"Got this as a gift to a friend. Lovely and soft material, not scratchy. Only thing is, I was a bit surprised at the size of the wrist warmers, as they are packed absolutely tiny when they have the brown paper band around them, much smaller than they appear in the picture. But are a normal size when unwrapped. A bit thinner than I imagined, but still warm.
All in all a good product."

This was washed... I don't know, as it was a gift to somebody else

Well worth the investment, fantastic quality and keeps you warm.

"I had been eyeing these wrist warmers for a couple of years now. It is so hard to find gloves that actually keep the wind out and keep you warm at the same time. Planning to buy the full gloves now. I do wish they would be a bit longer on the wrist because they are sooo warm. Not a deal breaker though. Will buy again. Holds it´s shape very well too."

Excellent quality

"I have knitted my own, but can’t get anywhere near this fine and pretty. I love these wrist warmers so much - felt like getting more colours, but I have the mushroom, which is classic and goes with my coats. I have these on me every day. They are very warm and comfortable to wear. They are goo for fine hands, but think they stretch well to accommodate S, M to L, but not XL, mens hands. These make good gifts too."
