ABOUT PERUVIAN CONNECTION:

Our headquarters are located on our owner’s family farm twenty miles west of The Legends in the Kansas City Metro area. Peruvian Connection has provided exceptional, artisan-made knitwear as well as coats, dresses, accessories, and home décor to discerning, educated customers in the US, UK, and Germany since 1976. Andean luxury fibers alpaca and pima cotton, a sophisticated design and color aesthetic, and global, museum-quality textiles are the inspiration for our products. Peruvian Connection evolved from a catalog company to one of the early online fashion brands and is today the proprietor of seven full-line retail locations in the US and London. As an omni-channel retailer, we are one of the few brands offering original design, artisan-made apparel with special attention paid to superb fit.

Peruvian Connection's roots are with cottage industry artisans in Peru and other South American countries, many of whom have been with us from the beginning, and we continue to support their work. Our customer demographic identifies with and appreciates this. Brand research tells us that our customer is also interested in the arts, reading, travel, education, fitness, and, above all, authenticity.
