In past times, vicuña was a gift from the Inti, the Incan God of the Sun who would melt the snow and change it into water to fertilize the soil. Only the Royal Family was allowed to wear this most precious of all fibers. Vicuña wool is the finest fiber known on earth. Nothing is softer or lighter.

The vicuña is the highest-elevation dwelling mammal, living 4,500 meters above sea level, climatically inhospitable to afford common comforts. The human hands that harvest the belly fleece of these animals live in the coldest and most arduous areas of these mountains. Referred to as "The Gold of the Andes," this is the rarest and most exclusive fabric in the world, with an unmatched precious hand. It is worth more per ounce-weight than gold.

The scarcity of the belly fleece itself, the scarcity of the population of these vicuña sheep, and the enduring condition these human hands take to harvest it, together yield a raw material quantity that produces just 250g per year.

If sourced elsewhere, the cloth is only woven in classic navy, charcoal, black, and camel. Mark Pomerantz has exclusive access to the entire Piacenza production of dozens of pure vicuña colors and patterns.

The Hircus Goat’s long hair hides a soft, warm, and precious undercoat called the duvet. Naturally white, the most valuable color, such an undercoat allows the animal to maintain a stress-constant body temperature, even in the cold climatic constitutions of the Asiatic mountains. This duvet is gathered in June by combing the animal, which produces merely a few ounces per year.

Brushed with thistle, which combs a unique softness.

Individually, these are mere single yarns, yet when spun together they create something unforgettable. Summit Fibers tell a story over 500 years in the making, and they give you a story to tell. Inimitably beautiful from afar, yet only truly appreciated by one, you, the wearer.

Throughout the threads of time, the ancestors of modern merino sheep flocks grazed Northern Spain, tracing their lineage back to Roman and Phoenician empires, their fleece reserved exclusively for Kings. These same sheep today, now thriving on the granite table sides of the mysterious fifth continent of Australias plains, are tightly controlled by the management of blood lines and lineage with each generation’s staple fibers becoming finer than the last.

This is the best wool that has ever existed, in history, all of which is still tended by family-owned and operated farms. So spectacular, this wool has a fineness that moves beyond micronage and is the pinnacle culmination in exceptional provenance, process, and ingredients.

Dynamic, soft & lustrous, the properties of baby camel yarn strike an ideal balance between the supple softness of cashmere and strength of pure merino wool. Extremely durable, yet luxuriously soft to the touch, this is an ideal fiber for an opulent winter coat.

Performant and versatile—with camelhair, luxury meets no compromise.

Unique and powerful, these cloths subtly integrate precious stones and gold within their weave. Prized for their inherent beauty, strength, and shimmer, pure gem stones are crushed into fragments and blended directly into threads—shimmering in the light, and giving the garment a subtle yet luxurious glow, alongside a supple feel and drape.
