Frequently Asked Questions
How much of the retail price goes to
the artisan?
We use democratic principles and practice transparency to ensure that working conditions are safe and dignified, and that the artisans have a say in how our products are created and sold. The artisan group sets its prices, manages the money, decides when to pay its members and when to invest in materials, and is responsible for all aspects of production from accepting the order to quality control. Not only does this mean that all members sense a joint responsibility for the group, it also means they learn skills from each other in math, communication, and very member understands the financial situation of their group.
Our artisans set the prices that they feel are fair for their work; this price covers the cost of materials and payment for labor, and is not less than minimum wage. That along with various other costs (Peruvian customs, packing, tags, and quality control) make the FOB price. PJT’s retail price for all products is only 2.5 times this FOB price. PJT pays for the shipment of products from Peru along with customs and duties charges. Underscoring our commitment to transparency, the artisans are aware of PJT’s retail price.
