Vicuna - St. Croix Collections (2024)

The most expensive fabric in the world is fiber from a type of llama, the Vicuña. Found high up in the Andes Mountains of South America, this fabric is even more expensive and harder to find than Cashmere. Throughout history, this fabric was known as the ‘Fabric of the Gods’ and only royalty wore it. The Vicuña can only be shorn every three years and has to be caught from the wild, high up in the mountains at dangerous altitudes. Vicuña is the world’s rarest and softest fabric.

Wearing the highest quality materials your money can buy, you are guaranteed instant comfort and style that everyone desires in fashion. Whether it is in the middle of the Summer heat, or during a Winter snowstorm, you can count on high-end fabrics, like Vicuña, to keep you comfortable while you are out and about. To create the world’s finest garments, you have to start with the world’s best raw materials. We find this non-negotiable and the absolute standard at St. Croix.

The geographical location and conditions surrounding animals that produce quality fur results in the high price tag you will find on items made from animal materials. High up in the Andes Mountains of Peru, in the fields of Australia, through the rolling hills of Mongolia, animals such as the Vicuña, the Merino Sheep, and the Mongolian Goat, are valued for their incredibly soft and luxurious fur coats. Wear them proudly!
