THE VICUÑA
A material born in the vastness of the Andes.
AN EXCEPTIONAL MATERIAL
A CARESS FROM THE ANDES
An infinitely fine, infinitely soft thread.
Remarkably fine, vicuña combines lightness, softness and warmth. A material first discovered through touch — almost weightless, delicate and enveloping.
BORN IN THE ANDES
Before becoming a fabric, the vicuña is an animal of the high plateaux. It belongs to these high-altitude landscapes, to their light, their silence and their contrasts. It is there, in the heart of the Andes, that the story of the material begins.
FROM FIBRE TO CRAFT
Between the fleece and the finished piece lies the time and work of the hand. Gestures learned, passed down and perfected over generations. ORÍGENES chooses to shine a light on the women and men who give this material its form.
RARITY & RESPECT
The rarity of vicuña calls for restraint. Its fibre comes from a protected wild animal, and its trade is strictly regulated. At ORÍGENES, respect for the material begins at its source and accompanies every stage through to the finished piece.
AUTHENTICITY & PROVENANCE
Each ORÍGENES vicuña creation comes with its certificate of authenticity and provenance — a guarantee that accompanies the piece and reflects the care given to its origin.
