Vicuña in Pastel, a brand-new interpretation
The Loro Piana Excellence - Vicuña - has been transformed in a new range of pastel shades, captured here over a weekend in the beautiful Engadin.

Elisabeth von Thurn und Taxis
Elisabeth von Thurn und Taxis, a columnist and journalist for international art and fashion magazines, was invited to interpret our Excellence with her own personal take on styling against the stunning backdrop of one of the most mesmerising parts of the Engadin.
The "fibre of the gods" is now available in delicate pastel shades.

Product authenticity
Pastel Vicuna is a special new development for the fibre that represents our excellence "par excellence", whose natural shade ranges from golden brown to beige, depending on its area of origin. There is just one small area of fleece, on the animal's chest, that is naturally lighter in colour, almost white. It equates to a tiny amount of fibre from each fleece: indeed no more than 50 kg is gathered annually, out of a total harvest of 8,000 kg of fibre. Loro Piana meticulously selected and put aside this unique speciality each year, until there was a big enough quantity to spin and dye in refined pastel colours, destined to be crafted into a very limited number of knitwear pieces for men and women.

Given that the natural shade of the fibre varies from lot to lot, and the resulting hues are never the same, each piece is a unique creation: every single sweater is one of a kind. A genuine Loro Piana exclusive, the ultra-fine yarn is worsted-spun to make it gossamer light, exquisitely smooth and fluid.
