Why Choose Vicuña?

Our Vicuña Scarves and Stoles are incredibly lightweight and super soft, draping beautifully, whether worn around the neck, shoulders or loosely over your outfit and fastened with a belt. Perhaps the most appealing aspects of our Vicuña accessories are their exclusivity and instantly recognisable toffee-like hue.

The Inca revered this unusually fine wool, and only royalty was permitted to wear it. Sources say the Inca believed the Vicuña to be a reincarnation of a beautiful young woman who received a coat of pure gold as a gift from a king.

The featherlight nature of Vicuña makes it a pleasure to wear, and it boasts superb insulating properties. It is also durable and remarkably smooth.

Our Vicuña Story

James Johnston began experimenting with Vicuña fibre in 1849, and in 1851 won an award for Vicuña shawls at the Great Exhibition in London, a world fair promoting and celebrating various industries of the time, including textiles.

Former Johnstons of Elgin Chairman ES Harrison described Vicuña as 'the finest and softest wool in existence' and detailed its colourfast nature. To this day, we don’t bleach or dye Vicuña, utilising its natural hue in our designs.
