BRACELETS THAT DO GOOD
The name Journé is derived from the" journey" we are all on. Please join Alexa & I along our journey with our Journé awareness bracelets in trying to make a difference-
Each color represents a cause along with a supporting charity.
With your new Journé bangle you can share and show the cause that you have chosen to support. The more people wearing the Journés; the more we can support the causes. The time is now and together we can make a difference.
Perhaps you are a survivor; know someone in the healing process, or you have suffered the loss of someone dear to you. Maybe you want to make the world more environmentally friendly, make a statement against violence, help children in need or you want to support our four-legged friends. With your Journé bracelet you can bring awareness to the cause that you would like to support, or wear the bangle to honor someone special.
The Journé bracelets are suitable for every occasion and make a great statement accessory while doing good.
Join us on our Journé in making a difference!
Here are just a few that have joined our new trend and campaign "THUMBS UP- To making a Difference" !
Each color has one or two causes. We currently have 8 colors representing 12 causes and with your help we can produce more colors and add more causes to choose from.
Charlie is our mascot and supports animal abuse and animal shelters.
EXAMPLES OF SOME OF OUR CAUSES:
THE PRODUCT
The Journés are hand made in Florence from triplets in a family operated business. Each bracelet must travel through 5 stations before it becomes a finished product. We wanted a unique bangle for both him and her. Six months and 7 samples later, we finally had Journé. Inside the bracelet is an inscription inscribed stating "your journé makes a difference". They cost 129€ (including the 19% tax ) and 10% of the revenue is donated to the selected organization.
This is an example of a workshop we support. The Organization is called DKMS LIFE- look good feel better which does amazing work world-wide providing seminars for cancer patients to boost their self esteem during this trying time period.
PRODUCT ROADMAP
We introduced the bracelets at the end of the quarter of last 2016. After receiving positive feedback we would now like to promote the products. Also, we just finished the sample more affordable Journé bracelets. With your help we would be able to produce the bracelets which would expand our market and increase awareness. Quarter 3 of 2017 we would like to add 2 more colors and causes. In 2018 we would like to add more products and eventually make Journé a global brand for charity products.

The only risk that we currently foresee would be if the family operated production site closes down and we can not produce the bracelets. If that should come to play we will find other resources as to not allow it to affect the production of the Journé bracelets. There might be a delay in the production of the bracelets but that is always a potential risk. Currently, we are not experiencing this problem. The team could fall out but we made it through puberty so I dont see that as being a risk either.
We have spoken with a number of editors, magazines, medical institutions who are all very interested in our story and what we are trying to achieve. The downside has always been our budget (or lack of one). To receive a featured article with advertisement is expensive and we just could not afford it. So with your help i think we can overcome this challenge and could receive the needed awareness for this project.
Ultimately our goal is to make Journé a global brand for charity products.
