Vicuna resides at the top of the pyramid of fine fabrics. Regarded as “the Fiber of God”, vicuna is the epitome of exquisiteness and luxury from the distant mountains of the Andes. Vicuna, regarded by the Incas as a symbol of divinity, lives in the Altiplano plateau of Peru. The value of vicuna cashmere is precious as that of gold. In the ancient Inca civilization, wearing vicuna cashmere is a privilege solely belonged to the king.

At 5,000 meters altitude above the Andean plateau, the sunlight is extremely strong and temperature difference varies up to 40 degrees Celsius between day and night. Vicuna feeds on fiber-rich grass in such a harsh climate. As a result, vicuna cashmere is much softer and lighter than other animal fine hairs.

The Andeans, who carry on the ancient Inca civilization, still adhere to the difficult and time-consuming craftsmanship tradition to weave up this precious gift from the Andean highlands.
