ABOUT
THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF JAMAH
Simplistic beauty characterizes the JAMAH lifestyle, where collaboration, consciousness and fashion are a way of life. Epitomizing fashion that lasts a lifetime, JAMAH’s original collection includes handbags, men’s bags, accessories and home pieces. JAMAH’s motto, ‘be who you are,’ embraces the philosophy that beauty is found both inside and out and represents the inspiration people find within themselves.
JAMAH has created “timeless-with-a-twist” designs distinguishable by their fusion of elegant form and rich, sophisticated colors. Fashioned from luxurious, lightweight Italian leather and hardware, JAMAH is subtly trendy, yet classic. From meticulous hand-stitching and metal “feet” that protect the bag’s underside to contoured and detachable straps, a JAMAH bag is destined to be an indispensable and long-lasting staple in the most discerning of wardrobes. JAMAH’S Classic Collection suits a lifestyle that is casual chic or sophisticated glamour. Signature pieces with removable flowers accessorize any occasion. The World Collection’s truly unisex designs are ideal for the guy or gal who wants a durable and stylish everyday carryall. A JAMAH accessory is a complement to any JAMAH bag or a statement on its own. Appreciating the importance of suiting all lifestyles, JAMAH is proud to offer an Animal-Free Collection. Style your surroundings and indulge in vintage luxury with JAMAH’s Home Collection. Since beauty comes from within, JAMAH ensures that the suede lining of each bag is crafted with the same care and eye for perfection as the exterior. Proudly handmade in the USA, functionality and durability are as much a feature of JAMAH bags as their stunning aesthetics, making JAMAH the perfect investment piece.
JAMAH’s chic designs have become a must-have for Hollywood celebrities including Angelina Jolie, Jessica Alba, Eva Longoria, Carrie Underwood, Channing Tatum and Brad Pitt. The line has been featured in many magazines such as Vogue, People, Style File, InStyle, US and Jane as well as on television’s Extra.

ABOUT NANCY
Celebs are now turning to Los Angeles designer/owner and L’Oréal’s 2011 Women of Worth nominee, Nancy Gale, for JAMAH’s gorgeous Italian leather totes.
A leader in the emerging trend of exclusive, yet accessible authorities, designer/owner of JAMAH Handbags, Nancy Gale takes trendsetting to another level and reaches beyond the obvious. She encompasses more than the trend in trendsetting, recognizing that there is more than meets the eye and states that fashion must consider more than external beauty. According to Nancy, the trend of today and the wave of the future are timeless designs that combine style, the knowledge that true fashion lies within and product that is “Made in the USA.”
Gale says, “What is most important is to be who you are and embrace the beauty within. Personal style and comfort embody confidence and make the ultimate fashion statement whether you’re comfortably sleek, or sleekly comfortable. If you’re a casual gal and your occasion calls for sophistication, sport a messenger style bag, but take it up a notch with a glossy finish. A night on the town, but your clutch is too red carpet? Play it cool with elegant shapes in distressed leathers. Stay seasonless by investing in blacks, brown and grays and in finishes to match your individuality. Make a statement with luscious material accented with simple hardware.”
An advocate of entrepreneurship, Nancy believes small business is vital to our economy. Recognizing through personal experience the challenges of owning a business, she is dedicated to bringing to light the human experience of the impassioned endeavor. Nancy strives to inspire business owners to keep pursuing the road to prosperity and to keep the dream alive.
Having spent her teenage years in Detroit, Nancy saw firsthand the benefits of manufacturing in the USA and the unfortunate demise. Inspired by a rich history of American craftsmanship, sadness from what appeared to be a lack of consciousness and a concern for low self-esteem in today’s youth, she was determined to bridge the gap. With a strong belief that the spirit of the American Dream is vital to self-respect, Nancy advocates that when we respect ourselves only then will we respect our own backyards and communities. Confident that hands-on participation and the journey of the process directly impacts self-esteem and pride, Nancy spearheaded the In True Fashion apprenticeship program to shape a generation. Nancy embarked on the never-ending quest of paying it forward as the ultimate tribute to those who invested time, resources and money in her journey. Determined, she is committed to shine and honor those that are the breath of JAMAH. Beyond In True Fashion, Nancy’s speaking engagements at universities and organizations allow her to impart her experience to inspire and motivate the entrepreneurs of tomorrow. Following her convictions, she is pursuing her life-changing mission of actualizing the dreams of high school students.
IN TRUE FASHION
JAMAH is proud to offer more than just the experience of owning a fabulous carryall.
Recognizing the importance of giving back and inspired to make a difference, JAMAH presents In True Fashion, an apprenticeship program founded on cause, commerce & consciousness. In True Fashion builds self-esteem and work ethic in American youth through hands-on participation and promotes the value of products “Made in the USA.” The beauty of the movement is its inspiration . . . the business of fashion, ironically, promoting that what is truly fashionable is on the inside.
High school students explore their creativity through the In True Fashion apprenticeship program, which includes workshops with expert mentors, factory time and business planning. They learn what it takes to run every aspect of a business. In True Fashion preserves and honors American craftsmanship. The personal empowerment gained from the In True Fashion experience and the appreciation for products that are made in the USA will positively affect generations to come. It is time to take pride in what it means to be “Made in the USA.”
Spearheaded by JAMAH, the journey educates teams of students through the manufacturing process from JAMAH product inception to financing to marketing. Their hard work culminates in finished bags that are exposed to the world. The designs are voted on and the winning bag is taken into production and sold to the public as a new addition to the JAMAH Collection. Honoring cause & commerce, a portion of the proceeds is designated to Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE), a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and the acting high school. Through the process the students cultivate their work ethic and a consciousness of their surroundings while they discover their inner talent. They develop skills that help build their self-esteem and learn what it means to give back.
Together with NFTE, JAMAH is able to bring to life a much-needed resource for building better futures in our community. Ultimately, established companies that manufacture products in the USA will be able to join as mentoring partners.
Quickly becoming a permanent fixture on the fashion front, we are excited to introduce you to JAMAH . . . fashion for a lifetime.
JAMAH is available to consumers across the globe via www.jamah.com, in select US stores including LA’s Fred Segal and in Japan.
Passionately dedicated to our customers, JAMAH is committed to bringing sophistication back to the business of fashion.
