From the untouched plateaus of the Andes to the precision of our Biella mill, Vicuña is more than a fibre. It is a legacy of nature, culture and responsibility.
For decades, we have nurtured a strong connection with Andean communities, built through close collaboration with those who have long protected this noble animal. Its fibre, once reserved for Inca emperors, continues to be celebrated for its extraordinary value.
Lanificio Fratelli Piacenza transforms this extraordinary fibre into textiles of remarkable lightness, softness and refinement. The Vicuña Collection celebrates this journey and three centuries dedicated to interpreting the world’s most precious fibres.
The Vicuña Collection by Lanificio Fratelli Piacenza represents the most comprehensive exploration of this exquisite fibre ever created, featuring a wide range of suiting, jackets, and overcoats in different weights and compositions. The collection not only highlights the inherent beauty of natural tones and the refined elegance of yarn-dyed colours but also showcases extremely rare albino fibres for lighter shades, enhancing the natural luminosity and distinctive character of Vicuña. Each Vicuña quality is associated with one of seven symbols inspired by Andean culture, reflecting its deep connection with nature, the elements, and the cosmos.
