Description
The Rolls Royce of Hot Water Bottles. Beautifully handmade with Alpaca Fur one side and soft lambskin on the reverse with luxurious satin lining and silk satin ribbon, this gift has the ultimate wow factor and is so cuddly you won't want to put it down.
Fits standard hot water bottle. Hot water bottle insert included.
To restore the fur to former glory simply brush Talcum Powder or Dry Shampoo through the fur with a pet brush (available from big supermarkets and pet shops). This is similar to what a specialist fur dry cleaner will use. It will lift out any dust and debris and keep the fur as good as new.
Always remove the fur cover when filling the hot water bottle. Ensure the top is screwed on securely and mop up any water with a dry cloth before returning to the cover. Please avoid any hot water coming into contact with the alpaca skin as this may cause the skin to dry out and split.
These Hotties are very special and sell out quickly. We carry limited stock of them as they require a lot of craftsmanship to produce. Pre-order yours now.
The Alpaca fur used in Samantha Holmes products is ethically sourced from herd wastage.
There is a tradition in Peru which has developed as a result of the death of weaker and very young Alpaca in the harsh Andean Winters. Alpaca roam freely in their natural terrain on the Altiplano of the Andes where temperatures can plummet in the Winter. The fur Samantha Holmes sources is from Alpacas which have died of natural causes.
The farmers do not kill their alpacas for their skins because it is not financially viable for them to do so. Alpacas can live for 20 years, promising a lifetime of shearing potential of far greater value than a single pelt.
