October 7, 2022- Weston, FL- Today Quality Importers Trading Company (QI) introduces the Global NFT Gallery Collection, a series of accessories that are based upon unique NFT artwork from around the globe. The first two lines in this series are the “Havana Beauties” and “Calavera” and will start shipping to retailers nationwide next week.
QI believes in being a patron of the arts, and in the emerging NFT space it is increasingly easy to support budding digital artists. NFTs (non-fungible tokens) are unique cryptographic tokens on the blockchain that can represent anything from digital art, real estate, to even a person’s identity. QI has taken a unique position to bring these digital works of art to life by creating a line of accessories with the goal of assisting artists in their endeavors. With every sale of these luxurious pieces of functional art, a portion of the proceeds will go to the artist to further support their work.
Michael Giordano, CEO and Founder of QI, exclaims, “The NFT community is something I care deeply about. I am able to connect to artists digitally that I never would have discovered otherwise and offer them the unique capabilities here at QI to bring their art to the masses. Art is one of my passions, the walls at our office are covered in artwork I have acquired over the years, and through the SWAG BUNKER we can bring them to life beyond the screen and canvas.”
The Calavera line is being released perfectly in time for Dia de los Muertos. Designed by India based artist Jahnvi Arora specifically for QI, the Calavera features a classic sugar skull design with a twist as it features hidden QI designs.

• Xikar Xi2 MSRP $72.99

I love this idea. What a great way to showcase artwork from "unknown" artists. People can snicker at the NFT trend, but I don't see it going away. NFTs are here to stay and will be used for more than just digital art. I've considered dabbling in the space myself!
