@sukemmannow2333 not if you understand Spanish but its helpful to understanding why these communities want to preserve a sustainable source of income and give work to the locals where these animals live.
@@danielarejgarI had the same reaction as you at first, but we’ve both misunderstood. The subtitles in the video for the Bolivian Spanish-speakers are broken and not showing up, so English-speakers won’t know what they’re saying in those parts. It’s we who need the translation, not you-I’m sure there’s more English-speakers in Bolivia (or Peru for that matter) than there are Spanish-speaking Americans (not counting immigrants). We suck at being bilingual.
As always, the 'harvesters' of the product (the hardest work' get a pittance, whilst the middle men and producers (in this case, tailors) profit the most.
Actually Shahtoosh is the fabric with the lowest micron count in the world, followed by vicuña wool. It's illegal to own due to the need to kill the animal for its wool. Its a if you know you know fabric due to it still being traded illegally as well as conservationists trying to not bring attention to the fabric.
It’s interesting, these people have the these animals that are priced so most because of their soft coat and yet, somehow, in someway, these people/community are struggling to get food for themselves. These wools will end up becoming more than $20000 dollars for just a coat! My ethnic is from their, they should’ve been able to maintain a well lifestyle because of their animals. What a scam these fashion industry does to these poor people. They’re still using scissors to cut these wools when there so many technology ahead of them. They deserve their over due lifestyle; after all I don’t see any fashion industry running around chasing their clothes 🙄
The wool grows back and the animal is not harmed. The local people earn income and because the vicuna is highly valued there is a strong incentive to make sure they are protected.
Well, let's say that we get only part of the story! English speakers get part; Spanish speakers get the other part! I'll watch it again in a quiet room and slow it down in the hope of getting the Spanish.
Basically every form of resource extraction from animals is animal cruelty but in such regions people make a living through it. It's what brings food on their tables.
I tried on a vicuña coat from Loro Piana worth $17,000. The fiber is divine.
How ironic that is harder for the Bolivians, to get their hands into the product that is their own ,than for people from other countries.
Yes, it is sad. I want some so bad but I could be scammed.
So its easier for Caucasians to create companies of the Product and Labor of the people in Their Own Land... who made these "Laws?"
Where are the subtitles for the peruvians?
Yeah, like they speak spanish it shouldn'd be so hard to translate.

First of all, this was recorded in my country (Bolivia), not Perú. Second of all, why do you just assume they don't speak English?

@@danielarejgarwhere would the Vicuña learn English ?
If anyone is looking for CC / subtitles for this video it’s on the insider business “so expensive” series
What a Beautiful Country..
It really is not...

Amazing conservative success! The hard work of those locals is amazing!
that was regenerative farming that benefits and to conserved vicuña, but damn the price tag of the coat is really expensive

Poor animals getting cold just to supply the materials for clothing of some rich people. Should not patronize those brands who make this

Hairkuts😊
With no subtitles this documentary is useless... 👎🏼

Depends the way you see it. I am learning English so for me is a great deal watching this documentary.
Thats animal cruelty.

no it is not. I guess haircuts are human cruelty by your logic.
How so?
Thanks to this they've escaped extinction.
Animal cruelty!, you dont eat kfc, burguers,ribs!. Those animals are killed as well.
