I think the quality is generally good from the reviews, and the prices sure imply it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/peruvian-connection---appealing#post-689764 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 02:54:08 +0000 Suz 689764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jean (Greenglove) recommended them to me at one point. Particularly for accessories. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/peruvian-connection---appealing#post-689760 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 02:51:58 +0000 fern 689760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rustic boho! I love it. I was going to start a thread asking what is the grown-up version of Free People, but I believe my question is answered.<br /> I will order more from Peruvian Connection in the future (1 sweaterdress, returned, so far) because the negative reviews all say, "not up to your usual standards" which leads me to believe it's pretty high quality. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/peruvian-connection---appealing#post-689383 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 20:36:14 +0000 nancylee 689383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love Peruvian Connection and have ordered a few items from their catalog over the years. Last winter I bought this sweater dress:</p> <p><a href="http://www.peruvianconnection.com/product/755341.do" rel="nofollow">http://www.peruvianconnection....../755341.do</a></p> <p>And I bought this tee-shirt dress on sale this summer:</p> <p><a href="http://www.peruvianconnection.com/product/womens+clothing+sale/womens+dresses+on+sale/710092-archangel+t-shirt+dress+.do" rel="nofollow">http://www.peruvianconnection......+dress+.do</a></p> <p>The quality of PC clothing is fabulous, but some of the prices are a little outrageous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/peruvian-connection---appealing#post-689202 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 18:02:01 +0000 Claudia 689202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I've gotten their catalog over the years and have always been very tempted, lots of appeal but the prices stopped me from ordering. Not outrageously expensive -- just a bit out of my range. I like to think of it as rustic boho. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/peruvian-connection---appealing#post-689126 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 17:06:12 +0000 Janet 689126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG the trench! </p> <p>Where's my mantra...</p> <p>Do NOT need another leather jacket... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/peruvian-connection---appealing#post-689121 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 17:04:11 +0000 catgirl 689121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet, that is cool too.

How did you manage to find the best and most expensive thing on the site so fast? I totally missed that, and now I'm in love. It's exactly what I was talking about in my response to Gaylene - medieval futuristic cool. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/peruvian-connection---appealing#post-689104 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 16:58:14 +0000 rae 689104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Isn't this the site where we saw that pimento leather jacket over a plaid skirt way back when? They are too expensive for me, but I've been peeping back in ever since. </p> <p>I really like this!<br /> <a href="http://www.peruvianconnection.com/product/womens+coats+jackets/b40414-timberland+trench.do" rel="nofollow">http://www.peruvianconnection......+trench.do</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/peruvian-connection---appealing#post-689102 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 16:57:55 +0000 catgirl 689102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, there is definitely a medieval look I want to explore there.</p> <p>I saw a really amazing production of Macbeth here that had amazing set and costume design along these lines. The color scheme was all grey and black, except for a deep red used by the Fates and in the scenes involving blood. All the costumes were somehow both futuristic/Star Trek/Matrix and at the same time very old world medieval and spare. It was so somber and timeless and just so visually clever. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/peruvian-connection---appealing#post-689100 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 16:56:34 +0000 Tamara 689100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My very-unconventional grandmother used to wear sweaters and scarves from them. Often paired with her favorite long suede skirt and boots. My sister inherited some of those pieces and still wears them today. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/peruvian-connection---appealing#post-689095 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 16:48:02 +0000 Gaylene 689095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks. Una, for putting your finger on why I don't particularly care for the "Sundance look"; it's too--sunny!! LOL. I am so NOT the romantic/boho, "sunny" type. But give me a medieval wimple and a dark cloak with boots--that is a look I could get into! It would be such fun to try it in the fall for my first day of classes. That would make my students sit up and pay attention! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/peruvian-connection---appealing#post-689092 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 16:42:53 +0000 JulieJohn 689092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous. Thanks for sharing, I got lots of inspiration. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/peruvian-connection---appealing#post-689085 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 16:33:49 +0000 catgirl 689085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gaylene, "history" is a great word. There's a medieval feeling to their clothes somehow - tapestries, woolens, old buildings in the background. Sundance is much - well, sunnier. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/peruvian-connection---appealing#post-689080 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 16:24:01 +0000 Diana 689080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know much about them but it looks appealing! Reminds me a bit of the Sundance Catalog - kind of that same romantic/boho vibe. </p> <p>Alpaca is super warm and very soft - I can't wear it touching my skin though (although oddly I can knit with it with no problems) since despite its softness, something in it makes me itch. =( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/peruvian-connection---appealing#post-689079 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 16:23:37 +0000 Gaylene 689079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My sister gave me a PC sweater that was very similar to this one last year for Christmas. Since most of my wardrobe is neutrals, I wore it almost every evening during our ski vacation. I loved the colors and the coziness. A local outfiitter's store carries some of the PC collection. Some of the knits are quite soft and cuddly, while others are heavier and can be a bit scratchy if you have sensitive skin.</p> <p><a href="http://www.peruvianconnection.com/product/womens+sweaters/art+knit+sweaters/741251-moab+cardigan.do" rel="nofollow">http://www.peruvianconnection......ardigan.do</a></p> <p>I like supporting these kind of companies which try to combine entrepreneurship with social responsibility. And, like you, I'm drawn to the overall look which seems to have a moodiness and history. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/peruvian-connection---appealing#post-689078 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 16:23:20 +0000 Keix 689078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've never heard of Peruvian Connection before now, but I really like their aesthetic. Reminds me of Garnet Hill and Sundance. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/peruvian-connection---appealing#post-689074 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 16:19:58 +0000 mrseccentric 689074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh yeah! i've been getting their catalog on and off for - 15, 20 years? back when you had to copy the 800# from the back of the catalog you saw in the doc's waiting room, go home, call up, and wait!</p> <p>Due to their great sales i've had the good fortune of wearing a few of their pieces the last few years. beautiful, high quality materials, well made, and stunning. i don't think i'd personally want to dress P.C. wholesale, but it's a wonderful place for gorgeous and unique 'frosting' items. You Will Not see yourself coming and going in P.C.!!!</p> <p>and depending on your budget they have some really nice basics - layering tees, regular tees, camis, slips, and so on.</p> <p>not to mention baby alpaca is out of this world soft, light, and warm. I prefer it to most cashmere out there these days. Glad to see you're having fun Una!! steph </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/peruvian-connection---appealing#post-689054 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 16:01:00 +0000 catgirl 689054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just got a Peruvian Connection catalog and I find their style oddly compelling. The colors are rich and moody, and the fabrics all warm and wintery. Plus they do a ton of oversized tunic over leggings and boots, or cropped over long looks. It's a bit romantic and feminine, but the overall "mood" is really lovely and dark somehow. </p> <p>Does anyone else get this catalog or see this appeal?</p> <p><a href="http://www.peruvianconnection.com/product/womens+sweaters/755661-royal+alpaca+oversized+aran+tunic.do" rel="nofollow">http://www.peruvianconnection......n+tunic.do</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.peruvianconnection.com/product/womens+sweaters/402672-san+telmo+poncho.do" rel="nofollow">http://www.peruvianconnection......+poncho.do</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.peruvianconnection.com/product/womens+sweaters/402352-madura+pima+lace+pullover.do" rel="nofollow">http://www.peruvianconnection......ullover.do</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.peruvianconnection.com/product/womens+dresses/402612-pima+cotton+kenmare+cabled+dress.do" rel="nofollow">http://www.peruvianconnection......d+dress.do</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.peruvianconnection.com/product/womens+coats+jackets/563952-flint+hills+jacket.do" rel="nofollow">http://www.peruvianconnection......+jacket.do</a> </p>
