Lima's largest textile outlet, Gamarra, experiences Paolo Guerrero effect. Now that the top striker is going to the World Cup, jerseys with No. 9 on the back and other Peru captain-inspired products are going to sell like hot cakes, said Susana Saldaña, secretary-general of the entrepreneurs' coordinating body.
The entrepreneurs' representative explained that 50% of Peru-inspired garments manufactured at Gamarra are related to the Inca striker and the rest to
Edison Flores and
Cristian Cueva (25%), as well as other national players (25%).
"I think we are going to make
a lot of sales. We all place our expectations on Guerrero," she remarked.
Variety of clothes
Gamarra is a place where you can find every kind of clothing with Peruvian motifs, all the more so now that Paolo Guerrero has been cleared to play in Russia.
Among the most popular clothing items are jerseys, scarfs, baby rompers, bibs, baby shoes, jackets, tracksuits, caps, and t-shirts featuring Guerrero's No. 9, face and the national coat of arms.
"Gamarra is celebrating this great news, and so is Peru," Susana Saldaña concluded.
