OUR TEAM

  • MALCOLM JENKINS

    A dynamic playmaker on and off the football field, and a tireless philanthropist in the community, Malcolm Jenkins is a pillar in the city of Philadelphia.

    Jenkins has fully immersed himself in the world of fashion. In 2012  Jenkins launched his own line of neckwear and accessories under the name of Rock Avenue. In 2017, he launched Damari, and dove head first into the world of luxury men's suiting.

    His hands on approach is what makes Damari special. Its not everyday (unless you shop with Damari) that you get to say that you wore a killer suit designed by a 3x Pro Bowl and 2x Super Bowl champion!

    Jenkins though, doesn’t want his name alone to be what carries the brand. He works tirelessly to make sure that the product and design is of great quality and flawlessly tasteful. He recognizes that STYLE is attributed to the individual not the masses, and he aims to help everyone find their own style as he has found his.

She treats each creation with the same obsessive attention to detail it deserves, so the wearer steps out in a look that tells its own story without them ever having to say a word.
