Peruvian Connection has long been committed to making exceptional original design clothing based on artisan textile traditions. In creating this blog, we hope to encourage a community of textile enthusiasts and to provide a forum for their shared discoveries, ideas and commentary. Artists, individualists, romantics and visionaries, we hope you’ll join in.

Store Adore featured a story in their September newsletter called "The Most Beautiful Stores in the Country" and Peruvian Connection was selected as their top pick for Washington DC!!
I had the pleasure and opportunity to visit our flagship full-line retail store in Washington DC last month. Peruvian Connection has a small collection of Outlet stores but this store is something completely different. Designed from the ground up by Annie and furnished with her own collection of antiques, each evoking a life-time of archaeological adventure and treasure. This unique store concept is meant to captivate the imagination as well as feature our latest collection of clothing, accessories and At-Home wares.
Our Grand Opening celebration will be October 16 but our doors are open now! Visit us at:

Most do not know that Peruvian Connection headquarters is located on the private property of Annie and Biddy Hurlbut. Mother and daughter both grew up on the Canaan Farm homestead and long before Peruvian Connection came into existence, their back yard was well-known for it's exquisite flower garden.
In fact, the garden was part of the National Iris Society's tour (at one time). Biddy's mother Corinne Miller had approximately 2500 different varieties of iris on the farm and it was her tireless passion to share the floral splendor she had created with not only her friends and loved ones but for anyone needing a tranquil respite from their hectic lives.
Today, Mrs. Miller's garden is smaller than it once was but it is still as enchanting as ever. A popular site for painters, photographers and Peruvian Connection employees over their lunch hour, this time of year is the most special as the iris are in all their glory. I never grow tired of taking pictures of our sacred eden and while it is difficult to do it justice in just one image...I wanted to share it with you. Enjoy!
