Our founder, Jess, at the Peru Moda trade show on sustainable Peruvian fashion.

Le Mondeur was invited by Peru Moda to attend their incredible trade show focused on sustainable fashion. Over a whirlwind five days, we saw the sites in Lima and met with artisan textile organizations from around the country to begin learning about the incredibly rich and diverse heritage of Peruvian textile traditions. We came home with great new connections, tons of inspiration and potential collaborations for a future Mondeur collection.
