Why Handcrafted?

 

I honestly believe in the power of purchasing something that is made by hand.  

In a culture where mass production dominates every aspect of our lives, it’s so easy to forget about the makers — the people who take the time and care to create the pieces we wear and consume.  People with education, skills, and most especially, stories that imbue each piece we make as an extension of ourselves and our creativity.   Purchasing something made by hand is a personal connection between the artisan and you, which makes the piece all the more special.  

When you purchase a piece from Jiji + Jo, you know that you're receiving a quality piece that was created with love and care direct from the artisan (me).  You can't get that from a big box store.
