Extremely rare—Vintage Women's Fur Coat- David Greene of Alaska Vicuña Fur Ombre Horizontal Bubble Chubby Coat Tan
Vicuña, an animal related to the camel, from Peru, produces the most expensive cashmere in the world which is penned “the wool worth more than gold.”
Quoted here from businessoffashion.com,
“There’s a reason why the Incas worshipped vicuña, the miniature cinnamon-hued cousins of the llama. The doe-eyed creatures, which inhabit the chilly Andean plateaus, produce a fleece so fine that it was considered to be cloth of gold. Only Inca royalty was permitted to wear it. About three million vicuña once roamed the rocky terrains of the Andes — until the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors, who made guns the primary method of obtaining “the silk of the new world” which was used to line King Philip II’s divans. And, for centuries, the animals were hunted, rather than sheared, for a material substantially finer than cashmere.”
This coat is the ultimate in rarity as it is not fur spun to make cashmere but is made of the actual full fur pelt.
