Returning to a World Cup after 36 years has not only raised the self-esteem and good mood of Peruvians. It has also boosted the reactivation of Gamarra textile outlet's economy, but above all of its creativity.
T-shirts, headbands, caps, visors, banners, underwear, ties, towels, key chains, and bathing robes —in addition to the classic red-white jerseys— can be purchased at reasonable prices.
The t-shirts feature a variety of slogans. Some of them display the national Coat of Arms, others the numbers and last names of our soccer players.
"Because I believe in you," "We are all Peru," "We are going to Russia," "Let's continue making history" can be read on some of the garments, which are given to the customers in bags —also in red-white featuring the number 9 and the face of the great captain
Paolo Guerrero printed on them.
Gamarra is Lima's largest textile outlet, where thousands of people flock to buy clothing items for their families at affordable prices. Its stores open seven days a week.
