Specialties

Since 1976, Peruvian Connection has based its artisan-​made, luxury fiber knitwear designs on ethnographic textiles from around the world. In addition to its signature knitwear, the collection also offers a range of romantic dresses and imaginatively handcrafted accessories, all exclusively designed for Peruvian Connection. Peruvian Connection offers women’s elegant dresses, sweaters, skirts, tops, boots and accessories. Knit in Peruvian pima cotton and soft alpaca fibers, our designer clothing and accessories stand apart from the rest.

History

Established in 1976.

Started in 1976 by the mother and daughter team of Biddy and Annie Hurlbut, Peruvian Connection was inspired by Annie’s anthropology research on women in the Andean marketplaces of Peru. 19-​year-​old Annie fell in love with extraordinary hand woven mantas and ponchos she discovered in the markets of Cuzco, the ancient capital of the Incas.

Over the years, the business has grown into five internationally renowned collections per year. These exquisite, original art-​knit garments are offered in the autumn, winter, gift book, spring and summer editions of the Peruvian Connection catalog, as well as at our website and in our own exclusive retail stores in the USA and UK.
