VELLUS AUREUM
ERMENEGILDO ZEGNA'S QUEST FOR THE EXTRAORDINARY
In 1963, history was made.
Our Founder established the Ermenegildo Zegna wool trophy awards in Australia – a prestigious prize created to support woolgrowers in their pursuit of the finest wool in the world.
The finest wool fleece is collected and Vellus Aureum is created.
The name Vellus Aureum was inspired by the mythical story of the golden fleece, represented as a winged ram. It reflects the founder's ambition and quest for the extraordinary.
To date, the Vellus Aureum world record of a single wool fleece was reached in 2023 at a 9.4 micron in finenesse.
Today, our founder’s quest for the extraordinary lives on.
