YES MA'AM

About Me

Bamalam Clothing Co. began in 2007 by L.W. Grisham. A huge fan of denim and printed bandanas, L.W. never lost the love for these, but began to think of new ways to wear them--eventually reinventing her personal wardrobe. Mexican folk-art inspired her to do this season's embellishing which features the Virgin De Guadalupe on printed cotton, embellished BY HAND on American Apparel t-shirts with a rugged stitch.

In addition, to embellishing just about anything from denim to leather to bathing suits, L.W. found another way to make personalize clothing--with rock n' roll embroidery and hems. What began as a personal hobby, eventually became quite a fuss... well at least amongst Miss L.W.'s friends! These days, L.W. is sewing on just about everything and is ready to start stitchin' on your stuff too. A D.I.Y. feel with recognizable pieces, truly making your clothing an original.
