This sweater is a piece of art, like a rainbow
“My husband and I planted these lilacs on our first year wedding anniversary at our cabin on the river. Twenty years later, there is nothing better than a springtime bouquet of lilacs from your own garden.
When I first saw this Kaffe Fassett sweater [pictured right] in your catalogue, I knew it had the colors of springtime at the river. This sweater is a piece of art, like a rainbow.”

Gifts that will live in the family for decades
“For many years I've been in love with your firm's beautiful products and have tried to choose presents for my family, friends and for myself. I think some of the garments belonging to me will live in our family for decades as wonderful works of art. It is a pity that not all that I liked I could buy in time, they are not always affordable because of the family budget, but that is not your fault - the artisan quality of your products is very high and such products cannot be sold cheap.
Thank you for what you are doing for the society.”

Never disappointed in the fabric and workmanship
“I continually order my favorites from your catalogs and I don't ever remember returning anything. Your sizes run true and I am never disappointed in the fabric and workmanship of the pieces. This fun skirt was ordered from the '04 catalog for a wedding I was attending. Since then I have updated it with one of your capped sleeve tops and shawl from your newer catalogs. The original printed skirt of gossamer silk chiffon is a keeper.”

*Signature wardrobe* pieces for the workplace
“I pass forward many of my Peruvian Connection sweaters to ladies in transition, women who are returning to the work force and cannot afford to invest in a new wardrobe... These sweaters have been my *signature wardrobe* pieces since returning to America to live. (The women in transition are ladies such as single, widowed or divorced moms returning to the work force.) The Peruvian Connection gift gives them both embrace and confidence... My future daughter in law has promised to carry forward the Peruvian Connection and Hermes scarf giving endeavor, and thus, I wished to wear the items to remind others of the endeavor... Plus, of course, they are so wonderful to wear!”

Lesson: own several really nice things
“I learned the importance of owning several really nice things from my father, who regularly buys me Peruvian Connection clothing for special occasions. But I don't need a special occasion to feel rare and special in my PC outfits.”
— Alexandra, Wisconsin, June 2007
Kudos to a versatile summer dress
“No longer in a climate where I can easily wear Peruvian Connection's exquisite woolens, I was delighted to find beautiful summer dresses that still had the company's classic and creative styling. I wear this dress weekly and it always looks just great. Flexible and comfortable, it goes shopping and then easily right out to dinner. When I travel, I can wear this dress all day and disembark looking fresh. Kudos to a versatile summer dress that I love.”

Sweaters for the Pacific coast climate
“I have to also comment that my husband and I living very close to the Pacific Ocean wear a PC sweater nearly every day 9 months of the year choosing amongst our extensive selection of your beautiful sweaters that we have been collecting for many years. Much thanks for enabling us that warmth and beauty.”
— Jacqueline, California, June 2007

Fun catalogs, friendly outlet stores
“My girlfriend and fellow teaching colleague brought your catalog to school with this picked out for me. It was the beginning of many fun orders that the two of us would place. We caught on to your friendly outlets (know the gals by name), internet site, and awaited each new season's catalog. Our hope is to retire from teaching and talk you folks into opening a Peruvian Connection outlet in Iowa City.”

Perfect for traveling (and a terrific fashion statement)
“I love Peruvian Connection sweaters—they have replaced most everything else in my wardrobe. I am a scientist—I travel extensively to meetings and committee review panels—Peruvian Connection sweaters are perfect for traveling (and they make a terrific fashion statement).”

Stunning and unusual knits for travel
“I have become a virtual walking advertisement for Peruvian Connection knits—they have essentially replaced everything else in my wardrobe. They are perfect for travel (tolerate long trips in suitcases) and they regularly elicit comments (because they are so stunning and unusual).”

A chance to “wear art” as well as appreciate it
“Art has always been a big part of my life as a professional, an artist and an appreciator. Currently I am designing & selling a collection of limited editions & one of a kind jewelry. I love my Peruvian Connection sweaters. They give me a chance to “wear art” as well as appreciate it. This pima cotton vest, favorite of mine, is wonderful for our desert climate here in Arizona. Often, when I wear my sweaters, people stop me & tell me how beautiful the sweater is & ask where I got it. Thank you Peruvian Connection for wonderful clothing with rich colors, unique designs & high quality!”
— Arlene, Arizona, June 2007
A gift and legacy of the indigenous peoples of the Andes
“I feel Peruvian Connection offers the most outstanding and unique range of fashion knits in the world—a gift and legacy of the indigenous peoples of the Andes. I look forward to each collection. This new web feature, allowing us to turn the pages, as it were, of your striking catalogue, will do it justice in every way.
Thank you for your excellent service, and for the beautiful clothes all of you at PC have brought into my life over the years. I feel wonderful wearing them and receive many compliments.”

1986 sweaters still elicit compliments
“For nearly thirty years I have been a customer and I have still two of the first sweaters I bought in 1986. They are still handsome and elicit compliments. On a trip to Peru in the late 80s I stopped in a shop in Lima and the owner asked me where I had gotten the sweater, she wanted one like it. Thanks.”
— Harriet, Illinois, January 2007

Impeccable quality and service
“I did not know if Peruvian Connection would respond to my request, but, obviously your company goes beyond just beautiful clothing, your customer service is impeccable.

Limited edition garments suit my mind set
“Many thanks for your letter regarding the progress of my order. I do intend to wait for the completion of this order, regardless of how long it takes. Why? Well, I am extremely satisfied with the high quality of work provided from your out-workers, and I kind of feel special knowing that I have a garment that is not mass produced. Limited edition garments kind of suit my mind set. Everything that I have ordered from your organization has exceeded my expectations, and fits perfectly with my lifestyle and sense of fashion. All my bits and bobs bought from you are timeless and add to my existing wardrobe. So, I am looking forward to receiving my order. Best wishes.”
