OUR STORY
HARD 90'S OR A CHALLENGE?
"The story of simple people about traditions and honest tailoring. "
Our story began to be written immediately after the gentle revolution. Back thenmany were looking for their place in society.A young couple from Orava, seamstress Janka and her husband Jozef, responded to lack of clothes on the market, so in 1990 they decided to sew together at home.
Precision, attention to detail, the quality of the products, and the appropriately chosen material quickly appealed to people. It didn't take long andthe first orders began to arrive.
The owners' personal commitment and teamwork, combined with a passion for tailoring, led to a gradualtransformation of a small local business into a professional company. The company's market and men's brand JAMEL FASHION first spread throughoutSlovakia and the Czech Republic. Gradually we are our customers also obtained inCroatia, Sweden or Russia.
Although the path was not easy, in 2007 the company managed go with the whole work team toown premises in Námestov.

IT WAS ONLY PARTLY ABOUT BUSINESS
"Our beginning is connected with a period that radically changed our viewing to the world and life. It's a story about people, hope and solidarity, a story about creativity or community strengthening."
At the end of the yearIn 2020, the Chinese city of Wuhan attracted our attention, but the virus labeled covid-19 was clearly not a disease affecting only the Asian continent.We have learned a hard lesson from globalization, the situation very quickly reminded us that the global world also has numerous disadvantages.

But what did this period, which significantly demarcates a certain era on the timeline of history, underscoreis the necessity of adaptation.
In this atmosphere, with the aim of changing the situation and adding a hand to the work, on 16.03.2020 our company sewedfirst, then so scarce and in demand, cotton cloths.
