Hi All, This is Katie Lorenz - Owner of Campo Alpaca.
It’s my birthday this week. We are doing some fun things for Campo this weekend.
1. Here are my personal favorite Campo pieces. 2. Buy Campo goodies this weekend (Fri-Sun) and get a surprise gift with purchase!
People ask me all the time which Campo pieces I actually reach for, so this year I put them all in one place. These are the things I wear on repeat, gift to the people I love, and pack first when the weather turns.
Badger pride, always. I’m a Wisconsin grad through and through, so the Wisconsin Crew Neck and the Badger Hoodie are basically my fall uniform. Add the red W Crew Socks for game days and you’re set. Those of you that know me know that I am the proudest Wisconsin Badger. My love for the University was the start of Campo - wanting a different type of Wisconsin gear - unique designs, fair trade, and my own personal Wisconsin Idea. Wisconsin Idea is the belief that we must use all that we learned at the UW to go out and make the world better. Wisconsin values service, leadership, and impact - and I wouldn't be where I am today without that. Alright I digress - HERE was the first sweater I ever designed - and it's still a favorite!
The everyday workhorses. The Alpaca Knit Hoodie or Crew are the piece I grab when I want to feel cozy but still look put together. For socks, I can’t pick just one: the Classic Comfort pair is my go-to for colder days, and the Anklets are my year-round pick.
Winter accessories. Midwest winters are no joke. The hand-made Ear Muffs and the Scarf/Hood Snood keep me warm on the coldest walks without feeling bulky.
Couch season. The Brushed Alpaca Blanket and the Camino de Colores Alpaca Throw Blanket live on my couch year round. BEST PART - it doesn't pick up any odor (and I had a dog). Alpaca is the best blanket hands down.
Every one of these was made by our artisan partners in Arequipa, which is the real reason I love them. Each piece carries someone’s skill and care, and I get to share that with you.
To celebrate, from 10/16 to 10/18, spend $50 or more and we’ll send you a free surprise gift. Thank you for being part of the Campo family. It’s the best gift I could ask for. 💛
xo, Katie
