unrenounceable is not in Merriam-Webster's and the options in the KudoZ glossary (inexorable, among others) don't work here.
sin embargo, algunas prendas fueron irrenunciables durante un período muy extenso.
Estos son unos versos (“Poblanerías”) del mismo Gregorio de Gante que se escuchan desde los equipos de sonido rudimentarios en donde no hace falta la mención del sarape porque es un objeto irrenunciable

Comment: "Thanks to everyone for the great options! Indispensable gets used multiple times elsewhere and I though that ubiquitous perfectly conveys that the sarape was seen everywhere, and therefore, no one took any notice of it!"

unrelinquishable/un-relinquishable
I was looking for a synonym for renounce/renouncable and came up with relinquish/relinquishable. I first wondered whether un-relinquishable was a word but the web link I give below suggests it is!

reigned sepreme / unconquerable / unbeatable
To get around the repetition in English, I would translate as follows, perhaps:
...reigned spereme for a very long time.
...because they were unconquerable/unbeatable
Or something like that... Suerte :)
