Anything made out of Baby cria alpaca fiber (they shear it off, like sheep).
It has a micron count of 14 (compared to merino wool, which has a micron count of 25) -
If you get something made for you out of alpaca, it is warm, lightweight, has no lanolin (for people who can't wear wool, that's why), and can be finished to a number of sheens, looking like traditional wool, or more polished, looking like cotton.
Raw cria fiber costs about $3 / ounce for unprocessed fiber, so a scarf made out of this (which is softer than mohair) might set you back a couple hundred bucks, but worth it.
Not the mixed llama alpaca stuff from Peru that you can buy on Ebay for cheap, this is the good stuff.

I believe it's silk.
It comes in many different weights and sheens from very fine to very slubby.
It drapes beautifully.
It's very easy to sew.
It can be used to make anything from clothing to pillows and drapes.
It can be painted or custom dyed.
It is readily recognizable.
It always looks rich.
