Founder Pam Schaecher has a passion for fine fabrics.  She launched Amaya after 35 years of living, working, traveling and raising a family abroad.  It was during her travels throughout Europe and beyond that she developed an appreciation for exquisite textiles and the cultural impact materials have on the fashion industry. Inspired by the vibrant and intricate designs of saris and shawls she experienced while attending traditional Indian weddings, Pam created Amaya to present this extraordinary artistry in fashion to North America and Europe. Her enthusiasm and expertise for superior fabrics and palette combinations stem from her prior careers in interior design and image consulting.
