Epaulet Styleforum Alpaca 2800 Leader.jpg

Hi everyone!

Last year, we introduced our collaborative "Alpaca Project" for the first time! Working with a group of independent Peruvian suppliers, we offered a luxurious range of pure Alpaca sweaters & accessories. It was a huge success, and we delivered over 500 gorgeous pieces.

I'm thrilled to re-introduce this project for 2023. We have a great selection of new styles and expanded color options. And we're bringing back some of the greatest hits of last year!

You can view the entire assortment online here

We're offering an early bird discount of 15% off all items until Sunday 10/22. Use the folllowing code at checkout to claim it:

alpaca15

All of these items are available for preorder now and will be delivered by mid-November. They make wonderful gifts, so definitely consider them for your holiday shopping! There's a lot to talk about, but here's a quick overview:

* All items from the Alpaca Project are ethically produced in Peru at Fair Trade certified facilities

* Alpaca is a unique luxury fiber that's softer than wool, warmer than cashmere, and friendlier on the environment than both of them.

* A percentage of all sales will go to support Styleforum and our community efforts of meetups, editorials, and podcasts.

* Of course, the entire assortment is Styleforum Approved®. It's stylish & current, responsibly produced, crafted in luxury fibers, and made to exacting quality standards.

We’re very happy to be working with Epaulet again this year. Our houndstooth Alpaca blanket has found a permanent home on the curl up spot on our living room couch. Alpaca and leather. It’s like something in a Ralph Lauren photoshoot. Thanks @Epaulet

The feeling is mutual! We delivered a ton of great pieces last year, and I'm thrilled that we're doing it again!

I'm adding in some new scarves to the online assortment. Samples just arrived and I shot them on a dressform. You can grab 15% off with the code alpaca15 until Sunday 10/22.

Let's start with the basic solids. These are about $84 with the discount and they're an amazing value for that price! Alpaca is softer than wool and warmer (relative to weight) than cashmere. It's strong and resists shedding and pilling. We have both easy and pop colors available:

Alpaca Discount Ends Tomorrow

Hey guys! Our early bird pricing on the Alpaca project closes tomorrow night. I know that I'm usually kind of flexible with these deadlines, but this was organized with Styleforum, so I won't be able to offer this discount after Sunday 11/22. Couple things:

1. You can get the discount with code alpaca15

2. You can see the whole assortment of alpaca items here
3. I put together a quick video overview of the new items and the greatest hits:



4. If you have any questions, send me a chat message through our site www.epauletbrand.com. I can answer quickly on there so you don't miss out on the discount.

Hey guys! Two quick Peruvian notes for the holidays:

1) Today is the deadline to order our Alpaca scarves and stoles and save 20%. We'll ship by 12/15 (hopefully a few days earlier than that).

Use the code alpaca20

Link to the scarves & stoles are here. The code only works on these items, not the sweaters.

2) I'm going to list these rad "Gaucho" throw blankets tomorrow. We'll have the order open for a week, with guaranteed delivery to you by 12/23 or earlier. They're a blend of baby alpaca and wool. Incredible hand and great colors! MSRP is $275, but we'll have them out at $195 for the week. They're an amazing gift.

The Gaucho blankets are live! Selling like crazy too.. huge thanks to everyone who ordered. Video presentation of them is above. Here's an overview:

1) Orders for holiday delivery are open until Thursday 11/30. Order before than and save $80 off the MSRP and get guaranteed delivery to your doorstep by 12/23 or earlier. They're priced at $195 each.

2) These are made in Peru of 50% Alpaca, 35% Virgin Wool, and 15% Nylon. They are a standard "throw" size at 75"x 50" (180cm x 130cm).

3) This blend is awesome. It's softer and warmer than pure wool. And the nylon content prevents it from pilling.

4) There's four colorsways avaialble. They each have easy muted tones and a beautiful mix of stripes and indigenous patterns. The designs recall the classic ponchos and blankets used by Gaucho horsemen of the 19th century.

5) They're wonderful to sleep or sit with. They look great on a couch or a chair. And they're comfortable to wrap around yourself on a cold morning.

Here's the four colors and purchase links. Feel free to post up any questions here!
