Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) June 11, 2009 -- Jamah, a line of hand-crafted bags, clutches, travel bags, and accessories that are manufactured in the USA, gives back to today's youth, and is rising as the darling of Hollywood. Created by designer Nancy Gale, Jamah's timeless products are a true investment and have caught the eyes of celebrities and fashionistas alike, making appearances on some of the most famous shoulders in the entertainment business.
Celebrities such as Angelina Jolie, Jessica Alba, Carrie Underwood, Teri Hatcher, Molly Simms, and Eva Longoria are all fans of Jamah. Brad Pitt sports "The Satchel," "The Mail Bag," and "The Messenger." As a proud papa, he sports "The Nanny," Jamah's exclusive, truly unisex diaper bag. With Hollywood's A-list putting Jamah at the top of its list others are taking notice. Jamah has been featured on Extra, CBS news, and Good Day LA Style File with Jillian Barberie. People, Star, InStyle, Us Weekly, OK!, Jane, Daily Candy, People.com's Celebrity Babies, Spin Daily, and even The Hollywood Reporter have written about the new it-bag.
"I'm thrilled at the attention Jamah has received," comments Gale, "but the most important thing to me is doing something I love and recognizing that the work I do is fun. It's imperative that everyone involved with the company has a good attitude and enjoys the work."Swahili for "be who you are," Jamah embraces the philosophy that beauty is found both inside and outside. Every detail is considered in the design and construction of Jamah products from metal "feet" that protect the bottom of the bags to contoured shoulder straps that provide unsurpassed comfort. Even the lining of these lightweight, Italian-leather bags is made of suede, echoing the company's ideals of beauty being above and below the surface. In addition, every Jamah product is made in the USA.
In 2000, Nancy Gale began Jamah by creating high-end, custom cast and crew gifts for film and television production. While Jamah's clothes and bags were more about function and serving the masses, she thought it would be "fun" to design something more unique and tried her hand at making a handbag. By the end of 2007, Jamah was evolving very organically into a handbag company. Gale, a self-taught designer, has always had a creative eye. She finds her inspiration in architecture, nature, and sculptures and has a fascination with turning inanimate objects into something usable.
"With the economy in its current slump and jobs being shipped overseas," notes Gale, "our dedication to manufacturing products in our own backyard instills a sense of pride with every piece we create and it shows in the details."
Jamah's social consciousness extends beyond the bag. Gale is in the process of founding In True Fashion, a non-profit organization that builds self-esteem in American youth through process and mindfulness, increases awareness of the importance of products "Made in the USA," and inspires a vision for a strong future.
