WE ARE PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THAT ARMENTA HAS JOINED
THE BIG NETWORK™

Emily Armenta strives to establish an environment dedicated to creating hand-crafted artisanal accessories that redefine casual luxury as an integral part of the everyday wardrobe. The aesthetic is derived from the juxtaposition of evocative materials that create a distinctive style while maintaining a focus on social and environmental responsibility. We are proud to be a woman-owned and operated company, made up of a diverse group of women hired on passion rather than skillset. This year we are celebrating 20 years of creating meaningful art while also helping women lead meaningful lives.

Armenta stands for the empowerment of women, the gender that has historically struggled to achieve economic, political, and social equality. The hands which have created Armenta pieces belong to people whose life journeys have been full of struggle and passion. We developed a school for women that come from disadvantaged circumstances, to educate and empower future generations of artisans. Our mission to be socially responsible extends farther than the walls of our company. We partner with vendors across the globe that share our dedication to empower and educate.

“One of my goals as a jewelry designer is to help consumers think about and act on the social, environmental, and economic impact of their jewelry choices – it takes quite an effort to ensure these materials are ethically & sustainably sourced. I not only choose the materials for our pieces based on my inspiration, but I choose based on our commitment to empower, educate, and be socially responsible. When you wear Armenta, you are not just wearing a beautiful piece of jewelry, but making a positive local and global impact.” – Emily Armenta

BENEFITS OF THE BIG NETWORK

Through retailer participation in The BIG Network, vendors can: obtain sales and inventory information, help replenish stock faster with your permission, invoice/bill for sold memo inventory, and stock-balance non-performing items in a proactive manner.

This service is free of charge for retailers and enables you to work collaboratively with vendors by allowing them to gain valuable insight into what is selling and proactively help you manage non-performing inventory. Vendors have been kept largely in the dark regarding sell-through – they have no idea what inventory is sitting in your stores that is not performing. For participating, Retailers are eligible to receive a free Daily Sales Report from Balance to Buy!

The ultimate goal… strengthen our industry through closer collaboration and understanding between retailers and their vendor partners!
