A significant trade fair influences the fashion trends expected in the upcoming season.

We keep moving forward! Twelve Peruvian textile export companies are participating in the prestigious Première Vision Paris fair from July 2 to 4. They are presenting their finest garments crafted from the highly sought-after alpaca fiber.

Maison Anaychay, Alpaka Industry, Royal Knit, Awana Alpaca, Tramas, Kero Design, House of Pima, Corceli, Art Atlas, Incalpaca, Natur Alpakka, and Harkened are twelve Peruvian companies. With the support of the Commission for the Promotion of Peru for Export and Tourism (PROMPERU)'s Trade Office for Export and Tourism, they proudly represent Peru at the Première Vision Paris fair. This event is renowned for its rigorous selection process, ensuring only top exhibitors are chosen.

ALPACA FOR THE WORLD

To provide more information about the highly sought-after alpaca fiber and its breeding and sustainability, Première Vision Paris features a room called "Alpaca del Perú." The winning garment from the Alpaca Awards contest, organized by the Commercial Office in Paris in collaboration with the prestigious Ecole Supérieure des Arts et Techniques de la Mode (ESMOD), is presented in this space.

The Peruvian schedule does not stop there. A delegation will also take part in PremièreVisión's Pitch space on July 5, presenting "Alpaca: Sustainable Fashion." This presentation will display the latest Peruvian innovations in the textile industry and highlight alpaca fiber as a sustainable and versatile resource, emphasizing its ecological benefits and its potential for sustainable fashion.
