Glenda Bailey on collaboration with Peruvian Connection...
“I have been consulting for a brand called Peruvian Connection for just over a year. I was looking for projects that were a little bit out of the ordinary and something that people would be surprised by. What I liked about the brand is its quality, as that is what people really want now, as well as value for money of course. It was founded by a woman called Annie Hurlbut Zander who was one of the first women to go to Yale in the 70s. She’s a super bright lady and she has run her business from a farm in Kansas for 46 years. She has worked with female-led companies in Peru but the country was the hardest hit country in the world when it came to Covid because of the lack of medical care. So I wanted to help, and Annie wanted me to make the brand a bit more fashion forward. My GBPC collection, which launched in the US in April, is excellent value for money, the quality is there and it’s sustainable because alpaca is much more sustainable than cashmere, which many people don’t realise. It was a huge success. We are launching the collection in London this month at the Peruvian Connection store in the King’s Road and online, and we’ve produced a separate catalogue with all my designs.
