Preserving Peruvian Traditional Dress with Purpose

A Second Life for Peruvian Cultural Heritage

The Archive Collection by Peru Gift Shop is a curated cultural platform dedicated to preserving and elevating authentic Peruvian traditional dress and handcrafted textiles of historical and cultural significance.

These are not simply garments.

They are living expressions of Peruvian identity—Marinera dresses, ceremonial attire, competition pieces, and heritage garments that have represented generations of tradition, craftsmanship, and cultural excellence.

Each piece carries a story: of dance, celebration, achievement, and community.

Through the Archive Collection, these garments are given a conscious second life—preserved, documented, and reintroduced to a wider audience across the United States.

This is not resale.
This is cultural preservation through heritage fashion.

A Curated Platform for Authentic Peruvian Garments

Every garment accepted into the Archive Collection undergoes a rigorous curatorial evaluation process to ensure authenticity and excellence.

Selection criteria include:

  • Cultural authenticity and regional representation

  • Handcrafted textile quality and artisanal workmanship

  • Historical and competitive relevance

  • Condition and preservation standards

  • Documented story and provenance

Only pieces that meet our curatorial standards are approved.

Our mission is to protect the integrity of traditional Peruvian garments while ensuring they remain visible, respected, and accessible.

Cultural Preservation with Social Impact

The Archive Collection goes beyond preserving Peruvian cultural garments—it actively supports the communities that sustain these traditions.

A portion of proceeds contributes to social initiatives focused on cultural preservation, artisan development, and community empowerment in Peru.

Every acquisition supports the future of handcrafted Peruvian textiles and the legacy of traditional dress.
