Made in Armenia Direct opens 1st retail store in the U.S.-Artisan Treasures

After eight years of selling over the website and to wholesale buyers, Made in Armenia Direct has opened its first retail store in the U.S. The shop is called Artisan Treasures, and it is located in South Cape Village. The shop sells high quality handmade crafts from Armenia including brass, copper, silver & porcelain jewelry, holiday ornaments, tabletop accessories, nativities, unique home décor items, carved boxes & special order darosigs (wedding & shower favors). This is a rare opportunity to see the incredible workmanship of artisans from Armenia and purchase their exquisite designs. Products made by the COAF (Children of Armenia Fund) village women through a grant with Made in Armenia Direct are also available for sale. Uniquely decorated with real trees & posters of the crafts people, Artisan Treasures is a new world to be discovered. South Cape Village is located at the intersection of Rtes. 28 and 151. The store is in the plaza, near to Marshalls (between Roche Bros & Heather's Restaurant). Visit the collection on-line at www.MadeinArmeniaDirect.com.
