MUSKOXEN (ovibus Moschatus)

Il bue muschiato è un mammifero artico appartenente alla famiglia Bovidae, noto per il suo folto manto che arriva quasi a terra e il caratteristico odore del muschio.

I buoi muschiati vivono nelle zone artiche del Canada, della Groenlandia and Alaska. The Alaska native population became extinct in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century but musk oxen, there were then immediately re-introduced. In the past, the musk ox in danger of extinction: however, the protective measures were needed to save the species. Currently, the total population is increasing (especially in areas where the muskox has been recently introduced) and is estimated between 65,000 and 85,000 animals.

to withstand the harsh winter temperatures these mammals have two layers of fur: the first layer (the one closest to the skin) is a thick wool white coating that acts as the second layer, the same fur, made up of long brown hair and thicker.

Every year when the snow melts, the bushes of the northern tundra is dotted with clouds of white hair long, separated from the white under-fleece of the flocks of Muskoxen of way.

A careful processing of this comes a wool fiber ultra lightweight and more soft silk: the QIVIUK

VICUNA
Regina Andean animal, sacred to the Incas and from the fleece of soft color of the sun, the vicuña lives in the high plains of Peru at 4000 meters di altezza.

Venerata e profondamente rispettata, fino all’epoca precolombiana la Vicuña contava una popolazione di un milione di capi. L’arrivo successivo dei conquistadores, che la cacciarono indiscriminatamente per impadronirsi del suo pregiatissimo vello, la ridusse vicinissima all’estinzione.
Negli anni 60 erano solo cinque mila gli esemplari viventi. Proprio in quegli anni il Perù creò le prime riserve naturali per la sua ripopolazione, che oggi ospitano quasi cento mila Vicuñe. Ma la vera svolta nel salvataggio di questa meravigliosa razza animale avvenne nel 1994, quando il governo peruviano siglò un accordo con Loro Piana for reintroduction into the market of fiber Vicuña, whose trade had long been prohibited in order to safeguard the survival of these small camelids.

The protected areas are home to nearly one hundred thousand Peruvian vicuña: the world is a natural heritage saved for the Andean communities in the hope of a better life. The annual gathering for shearing of vicuña, said "chakku" is in fact a real big party. The Vicuña are gathered, and after careful selection, there is the delicate operation of shearing. An intense day and full of legend and tradition, where song and dance renew ancient rites to celebrate la più preziosa eredità dei propri antenati.

Un’eredità rappresentata dalla fibra animale più fine esistente al mondo e dotata di straordinarie caratteristiche di leggerezza, morbidezza e resistenza. Con un diametro medio di 12-13 micron (1 micron=1 millesimo di millimetro) , la Vicuña svolge un'incomparabile azione termoregolatrice. Protezione, quindi, dal rigore invernale e dall'arsura estiva che caratterizzano gli altipiani andini in cui la Vicuña, per sopravvivere, ha sviluppato la preziosissima lanugine con la caratteristica coloritura che varia dal castano oro al fulvo intenso.

L'animale adulto produces only 250 grams of hair every two years, after shearing and ejarratura, are reduced to only 120 grams. This means that for the production of a vicuna coat need the level of 25-30 animals. The intrinsic value of a fabric and a leader in Vicuña is then further enhanced by the rarity of the fiber and the authentic art manufacturing process.

Capra hircus

this animal is derived from the precious cashmere . The hand of cashmere is soft, silky and velvety, it gives a feeling warm and soft.

His name is from Kashmir, the province of India, where it is exported to Europe from the beginning of the nineteenth century.
The thinnest part and end of the down duvet undercoat is called, the lower layer that is soft and woolly, the thickest part comes with stiff hairs and coarse outer coat is called jars. To pick you run a manual combing the coat during the season of changes occurring in the spring. The production averages between 100 and 200 gr. fine animal hair.

This hair has the special exception, like all fibers animals (but this more than anything else), thermo-regulate the body of the external environment, protecting both the low and high temperatures.

union of these three fibers - Vicuna, Pashmina (cashmere wool) and Qiviuk - created the unique VANQUISH II: a limited edition proposed by Dormeuil reserved for public connoisseurs.
