The Vicuña Scarf

The subject of our May 2017 launch feature in the Wall Street Journal, this limited edition item is perhaps the clearest embodiment of everything we are trying to do at Archibald. Known as 'Gold of the Andes.’ Vicuña is the finest animal fiber in the world (4-5 times finer than a human hair). Only 1lb of hair is produced by an adult vicuña per year, making it extremely rare. It's extremely light, exceptionally soft, and provides unrivaled warmth as its naturally interlocking fibers trap insulating air. Available only in its natural caramel shade due to sensitivity to chemical treatments.
