Vicuña Overcoat Collection

Vicuña fiber harvested through the Peruvian 'chaku' tradition — a communal roundup where animals are shorn and released. Each coat requires 200 grams of fiber, representing approximately four animals. The cloth is woven by a family mill in Prato with an unbroken tradition since 1887.
