Pearth (Peace on Earth) is a small business with a Big mission. Started after a life-changing trip to Ecuador, cozy Pearth Blankets are your every day reminder to slow down and enjoy the simple things in life - the most important things! Alpaca, "The New Cashmere", is a speciality fiber that has been described as stronger than wool, finer than cashmere, smoother than silk, softer than cotton, warmer than goose-down and better breathing than any thermal knit. It is water resistant and even Hypoallergenic! Alpaca is known as the most sustainable and most ethical wool on the planet. Eco-friendly and Cruelty-free. With a mission to "Pass the Peace" and to give back to the humble families in Ecuador, we are excited to bring to the United States this very cozy and luxurious line of Alpaca Blankets. Handmade by the Indigenous Artisans, these blankets are critical to the heritage and economic survival of the Incan descendants. By enjoying this natural treasure, you are helping to preserve this incredible art and culture.
