Good Evening,

I have a coat from Kiton made from the above fabric, which I bought about seven years ago.

Since then I have searched high & low for any other garments made from the same material, does anyone here have an idea as to where I might look?

Thanks in advance.

The cloth is (or recently was) sold in Chile, Peru, Bolivia, and, perhaps, other South American countries, generally in natural color and black (at least, I haven't seen any other colors).

The website below sells scarves and shawls made from Vicuna, Guanaco and Alpaca fibres.

Guanaco is an expensive and rare fabric -- considerably more expensive than cashmere, but less than Vicuna, as far as I can tell. I have seen Guanaco from Oxxford, one piece (a sample) from Hickey Freeman, and I would assume Brioni and Kiton also use it. I don't know what companies weave the fabric, perhaps Loro Piana.

Google also turned this up: http://www.alpacas1.com/Details.cfm?Pro ... ondary=999
