Vicuña

Precious and unique, the soul of the Vicuña can be summed up in these two characteristics.

Known as the "Fiber of the Gods", Vicuña has earned this fame thanks to its peculiar characteristics: it is among the finest fibers in the world.

Vicuña fabrics: Rare and Precious Fiber

We personally select the best fiber in southern Peru, in renowned areas such as Arequipa and Ayacucho. The constant presence in the area guarantees excellent quality, respect for the environment and right conditions for the campesinos.

We are committed to strengthening the bond with local communities, creating a traceable supply chain and ensuring respect for animal welfare. We support the Andean populations and consolidate an ethical and sustainable production model.

Craftsmanship and Sustainability

Working vicuña requires extraordinary skill: its very fine fiber (12 microns) requires meticulous processes to preserve its unique qualities. We are one of the very few companies in the world
with the expertise necessary to transform it into extraordinary fabrics and clothing, keeping its essence intact.

Thanks to rigorous conservation measures, the vicuña population has risen to around 550,000 individuals.

The protection of the vicuña is regulated by national laws and international agreements, such as the Convention of
Washington (CITES), ensuring sustainable management of the species.

Fiber represents a source of
essential income for the Andean communities, who through collaborations with companies like Piacenza 1733, receive fair compensation and keep their traditions alive.
