- Precio
- $9,940
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.

About Purely Alpaca
Since then, Purely Alpaca has grown from a small farm store into a leading brand known for its award-winning alpaca products, blending artisanal craftsmanship with modern design. Their move to Ramona, California in 2016 gave them space to expand, ship faster, and continue innovating with new alpaca apparel and accessories.
What makes alpaca so special? Unlike traditional wool, alpaca fiber is lightweight, luxuriously soft, non-itchy, and naturally hypoallergenic. Its semi-hollow fibers act as excellent insulators, keeping you warm even when wet, while also being moisture-wicking and odor-resistant. This makes alpaca the “smarter wool”—eco-friendly, durable, and incredibly comfortable.
🌎 Sustainability at Its Core
Alpacas themselves are gentle on the earth:
They eat less than other livestock.
Their soft padded feet protect the soil.
Even their manure makes an excellent, balanced fertilizer.
And because alpaca fiber processing is non-polluting and requires only simple soap, it’s one of the most sustainable textiles available.
🧦 Customer Favorite of 2024
At Clozist, our customers fell in love with Purely Alpaca’s socks—so much so that they became our best-selling product of 2024. With their durability, non-slip soles, moisture control, and cloud-like comfort, these socks are more than just footwear—they’re an experience in everyday luxury.
