I received their catalogues for years, and while tempted, I don't remember buying anything from them. It is sad how the quality of so many products have gone downhill in recent years. Am I correct in remembering that they had a store at the Stanford Mall? It was in the "back" side that I often skip.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-buy-from-peruvian-connection#post-1452915 Sat, 07 Mar 2015 22:37:17 +0000 JuliannWhick 1452915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the look, but it's not very practical for my real life. Peruvian Connection is up there to dress my fantasy. My husband buys me something every once in a while that is terribly impractical but also very beautiful. I have a black chiffon roses corset blouse that I wore to a Civil War ball with a hoop skirt. It worked quite&nbsp;well. I also wear it for Halloween sometimes. I think that their figure has wide shoulders and deep chest, so it droops a bit on my straight frame. I have a pima dress with a beautiful woven design that catches on everything. I should fix the dangling threads. I have a coco style cardigan in mauve and gold, and it also has dangling threads everywhere though it is very warm and quite chic. Last summer I went to DC and actually tried stuff on. I really liked the fit of their white embroidered peplum type top. I wore it a great deal and it held up to washing surprisingly well. I guess you never know what you're going to get, but be wary... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-buy-from-peruvian-connection#post-1452900 Sat, 07 Mar 2015 22:00:02 +0000 Blacktomato 1452900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Peruvian connection has incredible fashion on paper (also prices). However, over the years their quality terribly deteriorated while prices went even higher. It is risky to buy from them.<br />I discovered Peruvian connection approximately 10 years ago. The quality reflected quite well its prices at that time. I still have a dress that looks like new after repeatedly wearing and washing for over 10 years.<br />However, I rarely ordered anything past 7 years (usually when I could not resist and hoped for its "old great quality")......90% items I ordered past 7 years had to returned. Shipping cost are very expensive and you pay for return shipping as well. <br />I lately ordered 2 hand crochet dresses (incredible on photos)...I still think they are great, however this is my 3rd weekend when I am sitting next to window and finishing these crotchet dresses because there are dozens of unfinished running threads.....I just do not want to return these 2 dresses because these are beautiful and I do not have time to crochet them by myself....however I know how to knit and crochet but I feel very sorry for majority of women who have to idea how to fix these "poorly secured crochet" dresses.<br />My other experience is that sweaters are made from inferior quality alpaca and when sweaters arrive colors are different than those on their webpage/catalog. Also, their beautiful T-shirts have colors that would bleed (are quite unstable, creating "maps") after washing.....if you can find Peruvian connection old items in great conditions - go for it (I always look for old Peruvian connection stuff on eBay) but be very careful with their latest fashion.<br />Waste of money unless money is not the issue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-buy-from-peruvian-connection#post-1433004 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 05:20:54 +0000 Anonymous 1433004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have 3 Peruvian Connecion pieces in alpaca, a cardigan and 2 sweater dresses that I bought from a member on the Style Exchange. All are great quality, soft and warm. The alpaca does not pill although the fibers are long. I hand wash gently and lay flat to dry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-buy-from-peruvian-connection#post-1432806 Tue, 27 Jan 2015 22:59:26 +0000 rachylou 1432806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I never have. I always feel like I can't afford them. </p> <p>This is what has my eye today:</p> <p><a href="http://www.peruvianconnection.com/product/j61192-medina+reversible+jacket.do?sortby=ourPicks&amp;page=2" rel="nofollow">http://www.peruvianconnection......038;page=2</a></p> <p>I think Angie featured a vest like this?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-buy-from-peruvian-connection#post-1432775 Tue, 27 Jan 2015 22:25:24 +0000 fern 1432775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a new dress &amp; a new cardigan from PC, so I can't say yet how they will wear, but the quality of the fabric &amp; knit is very good. I am a 12/14 pear shape and found sizing comfortably generous for everything I tried on.<br />The catalog part is tricky because color is not well represented, and sometimes they choose photos where you can't see the drape or the neckline is covered. I ordered a range of things and figured I'd be returning several.<br />I wish I were a potter (and I am an art quilter), and I would be happy head-to-toe in these clothes.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-buy-from-peruvian-connection#post-1432751 Tue, 27 Jan 2015 21:59:51 +0000 abc 1432751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wish I hadn't seen that jacket.

I just took a quick look at the website; didn't see petite sizes. Do they have any? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-buy-from-peruvian-connection#post-1432328 Tue, 27 Jan 2015 04:04:52 +0000 deb 1432328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have ordered from&nbsp;them since the mom started the business in the 90's. The quality is excellent. I love going to their store in Washington D.C. </p> <p>ETA - I will be purchasing these tees in black and white.

But have had same response to catalog- some pieces look very interesting , like could be fun statements, but maybe difficult to try out. Cost and effort and not my dominant lifestyle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-buy-from-peruvian-connection#post-1432290 Tue, 27 Jan 2015 03:21:31 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1432290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that head to toe would be too much. I was reading a blog the other day and the author was talking about a particular quilted jacket as having the potential to give off the "I am a potter" vibe. I feel that some of the Guatemalan poncho pieces have that sort of possibility attached to them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-buy-from-peruvian-connection#post-1432271 Tue, 27 Jan 2015 03:10:57 +0000 retailgirl 1432271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've received their catalogs for years but never bought anything. The items look beautiful and I love their use of Pima cottons and alpaca. I think the quality would be good, don't know about sizing. I think the look head to toe is a little too boho for me, but some of the pieces could stand on their own. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-buy-from-peruvian-connection#post-1432253 Tue, 27 Jan 2015 02:56:00 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1432253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got a catalog from them today and I thought that e.g, the curiosities tee <a href="http://www.peruvianconnection.com/product/710792-curiosities+pima+cotton+tee.do" rel="nofollow">http://www.peruvianconnection......ton+tee.do</a> and the meridian jacket <a href="http://www.peruvianconnection.com/product/m50272-meridian+jacket.do?from=Search" rel="nofollow">http://www.peruvianconnection......rom=Search</a> looked nice</p> <p>But catalog orders are risky unless you know quality and fit </p>
