WHO ARE YOU?
 
Jesse James and Co. has been in business for over 24 years. The company started in 1986, selling apparel components to the leading manufacturers and fashion designers. Clients included: Jones New York, Botany 500, Danskin, Izod, etc. Jesse James and Co branched
into the craft industry 18 years ago and became a worldwide leader in embellishments.
 
WHY DID YOU START SELLING BEADS?
 
Jesse James and Co saw a niche that needed to be filled. The goal was to fix the obvious notion that craft stores sell low-quality beads. Jesse James and Co made the decision to sell top-quality beads, or better put “bead store quality” beads to these stores.
 
SO, WHY BESIDES CRAFT STORES, DO YOU WANT TO SELL TO BEAD STORES?
 
Well, because the craft stores still have a craft mentality. Craft stores’ premier focus is on money and the bottom line, not on fashion or the best products. They all do well with our selections, but they still essentially have a bad selection of beads overall. The philosophy at Jesse James and Co is that craft store beads make a craft, while jewelry grade beads make a piece of jewelry. Jesse James and Co’s goal is to reach a more sophisticated end user.
 
O.K. WHY SHOULD WE BUY FROM YOU?
 
Jesse James and Co has a great sales staff that offers fantastic personal assistance to wholesale accounts. Advice is also offered to Broad Street Beads after receiving questions from the general consumer. Jesse James and Co is well stocked with quality and assortments of beads at competitive prices. Besides being special and different, Jesse James and Co offers special effects and finishes and unique czech shapes. Jesse James and Co also specializes in designer packs.
 
WHAT ARE DESIGNER PACKS?
 
While designing our line, our trend experts studied leading fashion magazines (Vogue , Elle, Vanity Fair) and took the top designer color palettes and then combined beads that matched the designer outfit exactly. The packs are an ideal starting kit for the jewelry maker. You can add a great focal piece from your selection to complete our pack. It is also ideal for the novice beader who can become overwhelmed by a huge selection of beads in a bead store. Jesse James and Co suggests that you, the customer, choose a fashion magazine and select a designer outfit of your liking. We guarantee that you will be able to find a Designer Pack that matches the trend of the season, and in doing so, be able to create a matching piece of jewelry to match.
 
I’VE TRIED BEAD PACKAGES BEFORE, BUT…
 
Perhaps the ones tried were ones that have been mainstays in craft stores for a very long time. These are craft beads, designed to make a craft. Jesse James’ packages are totally different and designed especially for the better beader. It has a sophisticated look. It is night and day different from anything else that has ever been offered in package form (not to mention , it is the best value on the market).
WHAT KIND OF BEADS DO YOU SELL?
 
Our beads are the same beads used by leading designers and accessory manufacturers. Jesse James and Co buys from the same factories. You will find these beads on jewelry in boutique stores and in upscale department stores. You will not see these "better beads" in discount store offerings.
