A Modern Take on the Classic Vest

The Vital Vest takes the familiar sleeveless knit and gives it a distinctly contemporary finish.

The clean V-neckline creates an elegant frame for shirts, blouses and fine knitwear underneath, while the rib detailing adds subtle texture without overwhelming the simple silhouette.

The split hem is both practical and stylish, allowing the vest to sit comfortably over the garment underneath while giving the overall shape a relaxed, flowing appearance.

Wear it with tailored trousers for a polished look, layer it over a shirt for the office, or pair it with jeans for an easy weekend outfit.

The Luxury of Baby Alpaca

The Lothlorian Pure Alpaca range uses only the finest micron Baby Alpaca fleece, selected for its luxurious softness and beautiful natural qualities.

Alpaca is a lustrous and silky natural fibre with very few prickly guard hairs. This gives it a remarkably smooth feel when worn next to the skin.

It's an excellent choice for customers who appreciate premium natural fibres and want warmth without the heavier feel of traditional winter knitwear.

Why Choose Pure Alpaca?

The Vital Vest is made from 100% Alpaca Fibre, allowing you to enjoy this exceptional natural fibre in its pure form.

Alpaca is a dry fleece with no lanolin, which can make it an appealing alternative for people who find traditional wool uncomfortable against the skin. The manufacturer describes Alpaca as hypoallergenic.

Its combination of natural warmth, lightweight comfort and a smooth, silky feel makes Pure Alpaca particularly well suited to elegant layering pieces like the Vital Vest.

A Fibre with a Remarkable History

Alpaca was bred by the Inca people specifically for its luxurious fleece, which has long been celebrated as the "fibre of the gods."

Today, Alpaca remains prized as a premium natural fibre for its softness, lustre, warmth and comfortable feel.

The Lothlorian Pure Alpaca collection combines these natural qualities with contemporary design and proud New Zealand craftsmanship.

Care Instructions

To preserve the softness, shape and appearance of your Pure Alpaca vest, follow the garment's care label carefully.

As a premium natural fibre, Alpaca knitwear should be treated gently. Avoid harsh detergents and excessive heat, and reshape while damp when appropriate. Dry flat away from direct heat or sunlight.
