Premium knitwear brand Falke has launched a luxury pair of socks for a whopping price tag of 495 pounds per pair.

The limited edition socks are made of vicuna wool which is considered one of the most luxurious and warmest fibres in the world, the Independent reported.

The vicuna is a rare Peruvian animal which can only be found at the rocky mountains in the Andes, can only be shorn once every two years and they are protected by law.

The German premium knitwear brand has produced only 10 pairs and all of them have been sold out.
