{"product_id":"rick-owens-alpaca-and-wool-blend-balaclava","title":"Rick Owens Alpaca and Wool Blend Balaclava","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Rick Owens Alpaca and Wool Blend Balaclava is a full-coverage knit balaclava in black, constructed from a blend of 48% alpaca, 30% nylon, 20% wool, and 2% elastane. The alpaca-dominant construction gives the fabric an exceptionally soft, dense, and slightly fluffy hand that provides serious warmth without weight, and the elastane content ensures a precise, comfortable fit that holds its shape through extended wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe narrow vertical cut-out at the face is the defining design choice, a single architectural gesture that reduces the opening to a minimal slit and gives the balaclava an immediately recognizable, mask-like presence. It is the kind of detail that Rick Owens executes with complete conviction, drawing on the house's long engagement with protective, body-enveloping forms that sit at the intersection of utility and avant-garde fashion. The iconic Rick Owens label stitching at the cut-out edge is a quiet but deliberate brand signature that grounds the piece in the house's identity without overstatement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a refined, statement-ready accessory built around the quality of its alpaca and wool construction and the unmistakable architectural identity of Rick Owens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade in Italy.

The alpaca blend is exceptionally soft and warm, and the narrow cut-out gives it a sculptural, mask-like quality that makes it feel like a genuine design object rather than just a cold-weather accessory. The label stitching at the opening is the kind of detail that rewards a closer look and makes the piece immediately identifiable to those who know the house.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eStyle Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe all-black colorway is the most versatile and seasonless entry for this balaclava, pairing naturally with black outerwear and knitwear for a tonal look, or contrasting against lighter pieces for a more editorial approach. The cut-out is worth demonstrating during the fitting, as the narrow opening reads very differently on the face than it does on the hanger. Worth presenting alongside Rick Owens outerwear or the Stefan cargo trousers for clients building a complete look.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rick Owens","offers":[{"title":"Uni \/ Black","offer_id":43142379307106,"sku":"RU02F4490","price":348.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1533\/7241\/files\/53-rick-owens-ru02f4490kwp09.jpg?v=1784858424","url":"https:\/\/elliebelle.com\/products\/rick-owens-alpaca-and-wool-blend-balaclava","provider":"Ellie Belle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
