PMI Adds Ne’Qwa Art to Canada’s Cross Border Sales Effective 1/1/13

Cross Border Sales Agency, Ltd., Canadian representatives for Precious Moments, Inc., has been appointed to also represent Ne’Qwa Art, the newest addition to the PMI family of brands. Ne’Qwa Art is the creator of ornaments and decorative accessories that are hand painted on the inside of glass.

This prestigious line enjoys a loyal following in Canada, and PMI Executive Vice-president Scott Bryson commended the new Ne’Qwa Art representation with Cross Border Sales.

“We are very pleased with Cross Border Sales Agency, and they are doing a terrific job for us in Canada,” said Bryson. “I am confident that our valued Canadian retailers will share our enthusiasm, and welcome the ability to add Ne’Qwa Art to their Precious Moments and Pipka orders.”

Carmine Landolfi, president of Cross Border Sales Agency, added his company’s enthusiasm at the extended representation.

“This is great news adding Ne’Qwa Art to our existing product range,” he said. “I am very excited to represent all of the PMI brands.”

The unique artistic technique of painting in reverse inside glass is a centuries-old art form. Ne’Qwa Art revived the technique a decade ago, bringing the art of leading artists in a completely new format. The 2013 line includes the works of famed artists Susan Winget, Thomas Kinkade, Dona Gelsinger, Mary Englebreit, Sarah Summers, among others – each recreated by highly skilled artisans trained in the Ne’Qwa process.

Retailers will have the opportunity to see the new line during the Toronto CGTA Gift Show, International Centre Booth # 3281. The show runs Jan. 27-31, 2013. The line will also be exhibited during the Montreal Gift Show, March 24-27, in Booth #4536.

In addition, lead artist Trieste Cordova will attend both shows to demonstrate the Ne’Qwa method of delicate hand painting. Retail buyers will be presented with a keepsake Ne’Qwa ornament.

Cross Border Sales Agency represents all PMI lines, including Precious Moments, Pipka Old World Art, Disney Showcase Collection, Disney/Precious Moments Series, Hello Kitty, Elvis and BaZooples.
