The Betty Vicuña Cape is made from one of the rarest natural fibers on earth — and you can feel the difference the moment you put it on. Softer and lighter than cashmere, 100% vicuña wraps you in genuine warmth without any bulk. If you're looking for a truly extraordinary gift or a once-in-a-lifetime piece for yourself, this is it.

✨ Features

  • 🦙 100% Pure Vicuña Fiber: The finest animal fiber in the world, measuring just 12 micrometers in diameter — finer than any other natural wool.
  • 🌿 Ethically & Sustainably Sourced: Produced through government-sanctioned chacu — animals are captured, sheared alive, and released. Each cape comes with a CITES certificate confirming this.
  • 📦 Presented in a Wooden Gift Box: Arrives ready to give, complete with CITES certification documentation.
  • 🏭 Crafted by Incalpaca: Made by the internationally recognised Peruvian manufacturer that supplies some of the world's most prestigious luxury fashion houses.
  • 🎨 Available in Two Colours: Black and natural Vicuña (the fiber's characteristic warm caramel tone, as it cannot be chemically dyed).
  • 📐 Generous Dimensions: 1.6m long x 1.47m wide — a true full-length draping cape.
  • 🇺🇸 US Addresses Only: Due to import regulations, this item ships exclusively within the United States.
  • 🚚 Special Order Item: Please allow 6 to 9 weeks for delivery following certified import.

💛 Benefits

  • Unmatched warmth without weight: The hollow, air-filled fibers interlock to trap heat naturally, keeping you warm in the lightest possible wrap.
  • Genuinely rare: Each vicuña produces just one pound of fiber per year. Limited quantities are available annually — this is not a piece you'll find everywhere.
  • A meaningful, lasting gift: With its wooden gift box and CITES certificate, this cape arrives as a complete luxury gift experience — for a milestone birthday, anniversary, or simply someone who deserves something special.
  • Rooted in heritage: In Inca times, only royalty were permitted to wear vicuña. Owning this cape connects you to centuries of cultural and artisanal tradition.
  • Supports Andean communities: A significant portion of the proceeds from government-sanctioned shearing returns directly to local Peruvian villagers.
