Strengthening Partnerships

PJT works closely with our Producer Partners. We feel this close relationship is important as it enables us to guarantee that our products are indeed being produced according to Fair Trade practices. This close relationship also allows us to assist the artisans in product design and development, and share trends and ideas from the North American market.
