Loro Piana has had vicuña for years, if I remember correctly they had an exclusivity agreement with the peruvian government since the late 80's - early 90's.

The point is that Holland & Sherry has woven 100% vicuña cloth.

Definitely something that the global economy can use nowadays.

I bet that they didnt anticipate the economy being where it it when they started collecting the cloth which was as the article says, 3 years ago.

Blue blood tends to spend money on these pieces, sir. They are not recognizable enough for newly minted billionaires.

It's wool and overrated. Most of the cost is beared in effort and obtaining methods; not quality.
