Eight distinguished Peruvian fashion brands are set to showcase the nation's exceptional textile capabilities at Coterie New York, a premier global fashion trade show. From February 18 to 20, brands such as Balkanica, Carla Testino, and Kuna will present collections that blend traditional craftsmanship with modern design, underscoring Peru's growing influence in the international fashion industry.
Peru's textile industry is renowned for its premium raw materials, including alpaca fiber and Pima cotton, which are celebrated for their quality and unique properties. The U.S.-Peru Free Trade Agreement further enhances the country's competitive edge by allowing duty-free entry of Peruvian garments into the U.S. market, enabling brands to offer high-quality products at competitive prices.
Sustainability is a cornerstone of Peru's fashion industry, with manufacturers adopting responsible sourcing practices such as organic cotton farming and humane alpaca shearing. These efforts reflect a deep commitment to ethical and environmentally friendly production processes, aligning with global trends towards sustainability in fashion.
Peru's integrated manufacturing approach, covering everything from fabric sourcing to final garment production, ensures efficiency and quality. This model supports both emerging designers and established brands, showcasing Peru's versatility and expertise in the textile sector.
Through initiatives by PROMPERÚ, Peru is cementing its reputation as a reliable and innovative partner in the global fashion industry. The participation of Peruvian brands at Coterie New York highlights the country's ability to merge traditional techniques with contemporary trends, meeting the demands of discerning international markets.
