"Every now and then gear arrives in the go4awalk.com office that just takes your breath away. Beautifully presented in a ribboned gift box, these socks just ooze luxury. Made from 75% Alpaca and 25% nylon they are thickly padded and delightfully soft to the touch. My boots never felt so comfortable. " www.go4awalk.com

"One of the problems with winter sailing is keeping your feet warm. Goretex boots are infinitely warmer than traditional rubber wellies, but if you're still suffering, why not invest in some serious socks?
I've been trying out a pair of gorgeous, luxury alpaca socks from Perilla, which might seem a touch pricy at £22, or alternatively absolutely priceless for enabling you to extend your season and enjoy clear, sunny but extremely cold winter days on the water." by Cathy Brown, Editor www.themainsail.com
"I just wanted to thank you for my bag. It arrived quickly in the most lovely box with ribbon round it and wrapped in tissue. The bag is devine and I love it.I will recommend you to all my friends."
Liane Emmison, Nottingham

No great outfit is complete without a few well thought out accessories. Be it a stunning pair of earings or a stylish bag, the perfect accessory has the power to both add the finishing touch to an already beautiful ensemble, or completely transform an outfit from `a day in the office` to `a night out on the town`. Yet whilst jewellery is always an option, the onset of the chillier months brings with it the opportunity for further accessorising with winter warmers such as woolly gloves and cosy scarves.
A wardrobe essential for both men and women during the winter is a good pair of gloves. Not only do gloves keep your hands warm when out and about in the cold, they also have the potential to add a slash of colour to any winter outfit. Scarves are also essential for keeping the cold out during the winter, though are increasingly being replaced by alternatives such as cashmere shawls, wraps and stoles. Available in a fabulous range of colours, these options are a little more quirky than the traditional scarf, though equally as cosy. A good pair of socks also should not be forgotten.
Though not always on show, these are essential for keeping feet warm when (or perhaps if) the snow arrives!
Before buying your new winter accessories, there are a number of important factors to consider. First of all, you should remember that you will be wearing this item next to your skin, particularly the delicate skin of your hands and neck, so it is vital that your new purchases aren`t itchy or irritating. Additionally, and perhaps obviously, the material should be one suited to retaining heat and keeping you warm - a scarf that doesn`t protect you from the winter wind is not going to be a good investment. Lastly you will need to weigh up the factors of price versus quality. Hundreds of cheaply priced scarves and gloves are available on the high street, but these generally lack the quality and durability of a slightly pricier item.
With these factors in mind, <a

accessories</a> made of Alpaca fleece are becoming more and more popular, as not only are they beautiful, but also have a number of desirable benefits. Alpaca fleece is made up of hollow fibres meaning it is incredibly lightweight, whilst its insulatory properties are ideal for clothing intended to keep out the cold. It is very soft - so there`s no danger of that `scratchy` feeling sometimes found with wool - and is also hypoallergenic, thus ideal for those with sensitive skin. Furthermore the breathable fibre of this fleece has the added bonus of remaining odourless, should you wish to wear a pair of Alpaca socks for a few days.
