Peruvian Connection, Our Story:
Whilst researching anthropology in Peru, Annie Hurlbut Zander fell in love with extraordinary hand woven mantas and ponchos that she discovered in the markets of Cuzco. Fascinated by these ethnographic textiles, she began collecting them, learning everything she could about the spinning and dyeing of the alpaca fibres, the warp-faced weaving techniques and the ancient textile traditions of the Andes. Since launching in 1976, Peruvian Connection has been the best source of artisan-inspired alpaca and pima cotton clothing featuring timeless sweaters, cardigans and outerwear, beautifully-patterned dresses, skirts, tops and a wide range of custom jewellery and accessories. Nearly the entire collection is custom designed and made just for Peruvian Connection and will not be found anywhere else. Please take the time to experience Peruvian Connection and our unique offering.
