Bond. James Bond. That’s right! The Vanquish suit, priced at $43,000, has won the loyalty of many, including the iconic 007 himself. Crafted from two of the world’s rarest fibers—Qiviuk and Vicuña—it embodies sophistication and exclusivity.
Qiviuk fiber is so rare that the coat cannot be shorn, and fibers can only be gathered from what the animal naturally sheds. Vicuña, on the other hand, is shorn only every three years. There are only 150 existing pieces available worldwide.
