Pacific Connections

For the past twenty-six years, Pacific Connections, Inc. (PCI) has set an award-winning standard of performance in the handbag, accessories, luggage, and sport industry. Company CEO Martin Terzian, was one of the first to understand the changing dynamic between production and sales. Shortly after joining the company in 1980, he traveled to Taiwan and then spent the next 16 years living in Asia creating innovative international partnerships. Upon his return to the States in 1996, he completed a buy-out of his original partners, and assumed overall leadership of the growing company. Martin’s early focus on establishing a vertical company allowed PCI to grow by supporting the mass accessory market with design, merchandising, production, logistics, warehousing, distribution, MIS, and sales. Soon his goal of a first-to-market approach included licensed and private label accessory brands. Martin’s teams in New York City, Los Angeles, Toronto, Bentonville, Hong Kong and Seoul delivered growth through a commitment to great product, innovation, and overall professional excellence. Through his vision, the company and its leadership created a broader, more diversified company. Today, Pacific Connections encompasses handbags, jewelry, luggage, sport-active, crafts, hosiery / socks, and ready-to-wear. Martin, and his group of key executives, directs the process from start to finish, building a multi-category, branded and private label business.
