G9C Fashion was founded by Gianna Benedek and Carlos Hausner as a continuation of our personal involvement in Peruvian handcrafts and women’s groups. This started with a USAID project in which we worked helping small companies and groups in Peru improve and sell their products in the US. We all wanted to continue, so here is G9C.
Gianna was born in Cusco, Peru, and is a BFA of Fashion Institute of Technology. She is the natural liaison between original textile traditions and current US fashion trends.
Carlos has owned United Knitwear Sweater Company for many years. We have the structure and loyal customers we expect to serve at G9C.
Our collection is handcrafted in the highlands of Peru of natural yarns, hand-dyed employing unique design techniques so that each piece is one-of-a-kind, wearable art.
Scarves, hats, sweaters, are our knitted, woven, or hand felted pieces of art.
