“Panama Jack continues to expand in innovative, new directions that provide our customers with fun, new ways to experience our relaxed-lifestyle brand,” said CEO Kim Manna. “Both Leather Italia and Accessories Abroad offer products that nicely align with ours in style and spirit and further develop our home collection.”

The company sources handcrafted pieces from local artisans in India, Vietnam, China and the Philippines, and uses native woods, coral, fiber and other natural materials. Its branded Panama Jack line can be viewed at the IHFC Building in Space G-376 at the market.
“We welcome the opportunity to partner with Panama Jack, one of the most iconic brands in the country,” said Shane Newcombe, vice president of Accessories Abroad. “Panama Jack’s culture embraces a spirit of perpetual youthfulness.
