Vicuna


The warmest, finest, most expensive and luxurious of all fibres. These little chaps can only be shorn every three years as they dont produce much hair, but what they have got is amazing stuff. They are an endangered species that have to be captured from the wilds of Peru, shorn alive and set free again.
They cannot be legally farmed. The fibre is warmer and finer than cashmere and prices are pretty steep at £1500 for a scarf or £20,000 for a coat.

Truly Ultra-Luxe
