For the Winter 2012/2013 collection VICUNHA has developed special processes in spinning and weaving which aim to give the final product an extra degree of softness. This goes handin- hand with the "Dressual" trend, which mixes sartorial techniques with denim wear. Combed yarn is used in some of the denims, revisiting this concept with an entirely new finesse in color and finishing. The collection also presents new coating finishings, which improve and simplify laundering.

Because of the very high cotton prices, VICUNHA has used more alternative fibres with an emphasis on recycled polyester from plastic bottles. Here as well, the emphasis is on the greatest possible use of eco-friendly production alternatives while maintaining a natural cotton feel to the fabrics. „We invest continually in sustainability," asserts Dislich. "This is important for us in all areas of the product. An added aspect – also important – is being a vanguard worldwide."
