 <\/p>\n

A fabric of the highest quality born from the union of vicu\u00f1a, the rarest and most exclusive textile fiber in the world, and Top Mongolian Cashmere, selected for its fineness, elasticity, and superior tactile quality.<\/p>\n

The distinctive strength of this quality lies in its deep, intense, and uniform black, achieved through a highly specialized dyeing process applied to two of the noblest and most delicate fibers in existence. Dyeing vicu\u00f1a and cashmere while maintaining their softness, luminosity, and structural integrity is an extremely technically demanding operation, possible only through slow, controlled, and non-invasive processes.<\/p>\n

The result is a solid and velvety black, never dull, deep and sophisticated with elegant reflections in the light and<\/p>\n

Absolutely uniform, without loss of feel or shine.<\/p>\n

Top Mongolian cashmere, also dyed black, blends perfectly with vicu\u00f1a, contributing to a silky, full, and enveloping hand, with a visually powerful aesthetic.<\/p>\n

The entire production cycle\u2014dyeing, spinning, and weaving\u2014is carried out entirely in the Biella district (Italy), a guarantee of manufacturing excellence, tradition, and elite technical expertise.<\/p>\n

UNISEX FABRIC SUITABLE FOR: COATS, JACKETS, HEAVY JACKETS, CAPES, BLANKETS, THROWS, HATS, ETC.<\/p>\n

CARE INSTRUCTIONS<\/strong><\/h3>\n

VICU\u00d1A: the history of the world\u2019s most precious fibre<\/em><\/h3>\n

The most precious and exclusive textile fibre in the world comes from the smallest South American camelid: the vicu\u00f1a<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Approximately 80% of this protected species<\/strong>, of which there are currently around 180,000 specimens<\/strong>, lives in the Andes, in large reserves that allow the animals to roam freely. Considered sacred by the Inca civilisation<\/strong>, the vicu\u00f1a faced near extinction from 1572<\/strong>, marking the fall of the Inca Empire, until the 1970s<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The decline of this species, which began after Spanish colonisation, was first caused by the conquistadors and later by poachers who persecuted the animal for centuries to obtain its extraordinarily precious fleece.<\/p>\n

By 1960<\/strong>, only about 5,000 specimens<\/strong> remained, compared to nearly 3 million<\/strong> in the 16th century. Between the 1960s and 1970s, the Peruvian state initiated the first conservation efforts, creating natural reserves and issuing decrees regulating hunting and trade.<\/p>\n

In 1976, in Washington<\/strong>, the vicu\u00f1a was listed in Appendix I<\/strong>, reserved for species requiring the highest level of protection. This action, taken by the United Nations international convention regulating trade in endangered animals and plants<\/strong>, effectively ended all forms of exploitation of the vicu\u00f1a.<\/p>\n

Numerous factors justify the extraordinary value of its fleece, so precious that it is often referred to as the \u201cFleece of the Gods.\u201d<\/strong>
Its rarity is compounded by the extremely limited quantity of fibre produced<\/strong>: an adult vicu\u00f1a yields approximately 100 grams of fibre every two years<\/strong>. To produce a single coat, the fleece of 25\u201330 adult animals<\/strong> is required.<\/p>\n

Finally, the outer layer of the vicu\u00f1a\u2019s coat has a fibre diameter of approximately 12 microns<\/strong>, even finer than cashmere, which averages 15 microns<\/strong>. This makes it one of the most precious fibres in the world<\/strong>, justifying both its exceptional softness and natural lustre<\/strong>, as well as its legendary name: \u201cthe fibre of the gods.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
