Jamah Handbags:
Timeless with a Twist
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 bags are subtly trendy, yet classic. Proudly hand made in the USA,
functionality and durability are as much a feature of Jamah bags as their
stunning aesthetic. From meticulous hand stitching and metal
“feet” that protect the bag’s underside, to contoured and detachable shoulder straps that provide
unsurpassed comfort, a Jamah bag is destined to be an indispensable and
long-lasting staple in the most discerning of wardrobes. Appreciating that
beauty is found both inside and out, Jamah ensures that the suede lining of
each bag is crafted with the same care and eye for perfection as the exterior.
Socially conscious, Jamah is a founding partner of “In True Fashion,” an organization created by a collaborative group of fashion designers to build
self-esteem in today
’s American youth and to bring attention to fashionable products manufactured in
the USA. The mission of the movement is to increase awareness of the effect
that overseas manufacturing has on our economy and on our children
’s future, to preserve the rich heritage of American craftsmanship in the U.S.
fashion industry and ensure job security for the youth of tomorrow for many
years to come.
Simplistic beauty characterizes Jamah’s original collection of handbags, clutches, accessories and unisex travel bags.
Swahili for
“be who you are,” Jamah’s chic designs have quickly become a must-have for Hollywood celebrities, such
as Angelina Jolie, Jessica Alba, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Eva Longoria, Teri
Hatcher and Brad Pitt. The line has also been featured in many magazines, such
as InStyle, US and Jane as well as on television
’s Extra.
Jamah is available at select boutiques through the U.S. or by visiting www.jamah.com.

Finally, Bond No. 9 has crossed the bridge with its new eau de parfum, Brooklyn,
a scent that captures the vibe of the fresh and ever changing legendary city
within a city.
Brooklyn is a unisex scent with a desirably masculine attitude, that women will
also love to wear. It
’s romantic, sexy and distinctive with notes of cardamom, geranium leaves, and
cedarwood. Grapefruit and juniper leaves accelerate the scent, while hints of
guaiacwood and leather bring in a tender touch.
And for the first time they’ve decorated directly onto the transparent glass of the iconic Bond No. 9
flacon, with the words BROOKLYN and BOND NO. 9 spelled out in an edgy, urban
handwritten script in a vivid array of colors.
