Viva Peru

Wake up early and spin down to STT to catch the 9:00amflight to Miami.  4hr layover in MIA and then depart for Peru.  Arrive in time for dinner at La Gloria , considered Lima’s best restaurant.  Peru is home to our knit suppliers and we visit often. 

We enjoy developing new styles, checking out samples, discovering fabric improvements and monitoring quality.  Best of all Peru offers exquisite cuisine and each meal is a culinary feast.  Lunch is usually ceviche, recognized as Peru’s best-known contribution to international cuisine.  Dinners, which in true Latin style, are started late, are at restaurants like the aforementioned La Gloria, or at Osaka, the cities best Japanese restaurant. 

Lima sprawls and a working day involves driving from factory to factory through the gritty working class Northern portion of the city in taxis.  Meeting our suppliers and seeing our product being made is important and, for us, gratifying.  Savoring Peru’s fantastic cuisine is a bonus!

Quality & perfection

Like any good company we try and make a point to build long relationships with our suppliers.  To that end we travel to Peru at least a couple times a year to meet with our suppliers.  We’ve been working with Neyer Solis for some time.  Sensing opportunity Neyer left the large knitwear company where he worked and set up a small sewing line dedicated to our production.  His line has grown to 10 men & women working sewing our T-shirts.  

   

The screen printing and embroidery is subcontracted out to another company.  We’ve visited the printer before and our recent trip we were happy to see a new facility and plenty of jobs on-hand.  Small lines like Neyer’s and the printing facility he uses also get work from the larger factories that work production for brands like American Eagle.  The quality that Peru production offers is a great advantage for HIHO.  We also like working with small producers and it is a source of pride seeing them excel at what they do.
