One of the fine fabrics that have always been a part of Agnona’s history is undoubtedly alpaca, which comes from a mammal native to the Peruvian Andes accustomed to rapid changes in temperatures ranging from 30 degrees centigrade during the day to minus 15 – 20 degrees centigrade at night. Precisely due to these characteristics, soft alpaca hair is perfect for making refined fabrics that are extremely light yet protect against the cold even more effectively than fur.
The refined fabric called “Spazzolino” is made from a superb quality of “Suri” alpaca (the most valuable type that exists). Its fibers naturally come in more than 17 shades, from black to a range of neutrals spanning from gray to white.
Agnona, the “Queen of Alpaca”, is the company that, more than any other, has helped introduce this fiber to the world by creating several unique versions, including the “spazzolino” (brushed alpaca), which was an iconic fabric of the 70s.
Nature and beauty, style and sophistication, handcraft and innovation. These are the values that generate a luxury of substance and not merely appearance, a luxury that emanates an unmistakeable yet discreet aura of refined understatement.
Only the rarest fibres, worked in a style rooted in the cult of the genuine and natural, a style that develops in a continual process of product innovation. High technology thus marries the wisdom of craftsmanship in a production process that is all “Made in Italy”.
This creative fascination with style characterizes the whole world of Agnona: it’s seen in the knitwear, which continues, collection after collection, to present surprising new variations in both the ready-to-wear models, such as the dresses of timeless charm and the passe-partout over garments, and, naturally, in the accessories and Home collection.
