THE GLAMAJAMA STORY

The Beginning...

Babies bring out the best in us, and that couldn't be more true than the launch of Glamajama.  As a first time mom, my world changed overnight with the birth of my son and the desire to be with him 24/7.  Over the next couple of months, I brainstormed ways to satisfy both my personal goals of being a good mom and my professional goals of feeling like a success in business; in other words, "have my cake and eat it too".  Nothing seemed to be a right fit so I busied myself with caring for my newborn and more domestic endeavors like re-decorating the house and sewing up special pieces for my little "Rock Star".  I had been desperate to find unique and creative clothes for him that showcased his personality and that were easy care.  When I couldn't find what I was looking for at the boutiques, I took the "do it yourself" approach and designed my own clothes for him.

A couple months later, I had my "a-ha!" moment.  Strolling around town with my little one dressed in his mommy-made tee, I was approached by other moms wanting to know where they could buy the shirt.  A-ha!  The perfect fit was right there all along and I didn't even realize it.  With my newfound direction, I sat down and drew upon my creative experiences growing up in a crafty household, business lessons learned from a career in investments, and finally a healthy dose of patience derived from my many years working at a psychiatric treatment home.  The result was the business plan for Glamajama and the birth of a brand of glam-studded fashions for baby, toddlers, and women.

Today...

Five years and three children later, Glamajama is now available in over 500 specialty boutiques and department stores including Barney's, Nordstrom's (retailer directory) and online exclusively through www.glamajama.com.  Glamajama has also spread its wings overseas and enjoys popularity in Japan, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom.  Our fashion savvy clothes have received many compliments from the fashion press and celebrities as well.  Glamajama has been featured in media outlets such as The Today Show, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, USA Today, Star Magazine, Parents, ePregnancy, and Lucky (more news & press).  Celebrities who have received clothes include Demi Moore, Oprah, Britney Spears, Kate Hudson, Angela Bassett, Holly Robinson Peete, Tia Carerre, Lisa Rinna, and Brooke Burke to name a few (complete celebrity list).

Our Mission...

As we move forward, Glamajama continues it's commitment to provide fashion savvy clothing for babes of all ages and launches new collections each and every season. Our goal is to provide edgy and playful children's wear that are easy care and baby friendly, while giving moms some trendy alternatives to "Mommy & Me" with our signature "mommy" tees and matching sets.
