Eight distinguished Peruvian fashion brands will demonstrate the nation’s exceptional textile capabilities at Coterie New York, one of the world’s most prestigious fashion trade shows. From February 18 to 20, brands including Balkanica, Carla Testino, De Loreta, Estrafalario, Fringe Mod, Hera Concept, Kero Design, and Kuna will present collections that seamlessly integrate traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design.
Peru offers international fashion brands multiple compelling advantages in textile and apparel production. The country stands out as a global leader in premium raw materials, particularly alpaca fiber and Pima cotton, which are renowned for their superior quality and unique characteristics. Alpaca fiber, prized for its luxurious texture and thermoregulating properties, provides exceptional warmth and breathability, while Pima cotton offers unparalleled comfort and durability.
A significant competitive edge for Peruvian manufacturers comes through the U.S.-Peru Free Trade Agreement, which allows garments to enter the U.S. market duty-free. This economic benefit enables brands to maintain high-quality standards while reducing production costs.
Sustainability represents another critical strength of Peru’s fashion industry. Manufacturers prioritize responsible sourcing, implementing practices such as organic cotton farming, humane alpaca shearing, and partnerships with rural knitting cooperatives. These initiatives demonstrate a comprehensive commitment to ethical and environmentally conscious production processes.
Peru’s textile industry distinguishes itself through an integrated, full-package manufacturing approach. This comprehensive model covers everything from fabric sourcing and design to final garment production, ensuring efficiency, consistency, and superior quality. The industry’s flexibility allows it to serve both emerging designers and established international brands with equal expertise.
Through PROMPERÚ’s strategic efforts, Peru is positioning itself as an innovative and reliable global fashion partner. By showcasing its top brands at Coterie New York, the country illustrates its capacity to merge traditional craftsmanship with modern design trends, meeting the sophisticated demands of international markets.
