About Peruvian Connection
Peruvian Connection was founded in 1976 by Annie Hurlbut and her mother, Biddy. An anthropologist by trade, Annie was fascinated by the extraordinary hand-woven pieces she found in the markets while studying in Peru. After gifting her mother a luxurious Peruvian alpaca sweater coat trimmed with fur, friends and family wanted to purchase Peruvian sweaters as well. They started importing a few sweaters, then created a catalog and more than 40 years later Peruvian Connection’s collections are available in the brand’s retail stores, online and by catalog.
Today, each piece is created by an extraordinary group of designers, then made by artisans in Peru from Andean luxury fibers, including the finest alpaca and pima cotton. Peruvian Connection releases five internationally renowned collections each year. For more information please visit PeruvianConnection.com.
