Alpaca Fur Slippers
Deep, soft alpaca fur for cold floors and slow mornings.
Made from pure alpaca fur with a deep 6cm pile, these slippers wrap the feet in softness from the first step. Inside, an alpaca wool lining keeps them warm and feels gentle next to the skin, and the removable insole is lined with woven alpaca wool too.
Underneath, an anti-slip suede sole is made for polished boards, stone and tiled floors around the house. The insole lifts out, so it can be aired between wears.
They belong to the quiet parts of the day: the first cup of tea on a winter morning, long evenings by the fire, and Christmas morning around the tree. In White, Taupe, Copper or Silver Grey, they make a thoughtful gift for a mother, a grandmother or a new mum, or for anyone who feels the cold. They are also part of The Mother & Baby Alpaca Gift Set.
Made in Peru, with respect for the herd
Lacorine slippers are handmade in Peru, close to the herds that supply the fibre. The alpacas are kept for their fleece alone, shorn once a year and left to live out their lives on the high plateau of the Andes. Winters there are severe, and the fur on these slippers is derived solely from the natural herd loss those winters cause, so that this beautiful fibre is used with respect. Lacorine is a member of BAFTS, the British Association for Fair Trade Shops and Suppliers.

Alpaca is one of the most sought-after natural fibres in the world, and it grows in 22 natural shades, from white and champagne through fawn and caramel to deep brown, grey and black. Every piece in our collections is made from alpaca raised in the high Andes of Peru.
Softer, lighter, kinder to skin
• Fine alpaca fibre has a smooth surface, which gives our garments their silky handle and gentle sheen.
• Alpaca is light to wear and holds warmth well, so a scarf or hat gives real warmth without bulk.
• Alpaca is low in grease compared with sheep's wool, so many people who find wool itchy wear alpaca comfortably.
• Alpaca sheds light rain and moisture, keeping its shape and feel in damp weather.
Made to last
• Alpaca is a strong fibre that wears better than sheep's wool, so a well-made garment keeps its look for years.
• It holds its surface and resists pilling with normal wear.
• It is a natural protein fibre, so it is slow to catch light and, at the end of a long life, biodegrades.
Our fair trade principles
Lacorine works directly with communities of alpaca herders and skilled makers in the Peruvian Andes. Together we design, make and sell alpaca garments and accessories of the highest quality, drawing on Peruvian textile traditions. The alpacas come first: they are shorn, never harmed, and our fur comes only from animals lost to the hard Andean winters. Our work supports sustainable alpaca farming, so these traditions carry on with the next generation of herders and makers.
We are members of BAFTS, the British Association for Fair Trade Shops and Suppliers, a network of independent shops and suppliers promoting fair trade retail in the UK. We pay fairly and work to fair conditions with everyone who makes our products.

The Fibre
Alpaca fibre is valued for its exceptional softness, natural warmth, and durability. Lightweight yet insulating, it regulates temperature and retains its shape over time, making it well suited to seasonless wear.
Craftsmanship
Crafted in Peru by skilled artisans, each piece reflects generations of textile knowledge refined through contemporary design. Traditional techniques are combined with careful finishing to ensure quality, longevity, and a refined hand feel.
Care & Longevity
To preserve the natural qualities of alpaca, we recommend gentle hand washing or professional dry cleaning. Store folded to maintain shape and texture. With considered care, alpaca fibres improve with wear over time.
