Glam Slam Gear Inc. is a luxury sport and lifestyle company, co-founded by Lisa Olivieri and Meaghan Janedis, two Long Island “Mompreneurs” who are tennis partners and business partners, turning their passion for tennis into a thriving company. The ladies of Glam Slam Gear design and manufacture their product lines in New York City, truly made in the USA.

Couture tennis racquet covers made from fine Italian leather were the launch products of Glam Slam Gear, back in May of 2014. Meaghan and Lisa were tired of watching impeccably dressed ladies in brand name tennis gear enter the court with racquets in hand, while juggling keys, phones, wallets and purses. This problem was solved with a fashion solution. Their development of a traditionally-styled tennis racquet cover enables the player to look sleek without compromising necessary gear. Glam Slam Gear’s designs are made for tennis players with busy lives who have a desire to look and play great. All of Glam Slam Gear’s tennis racquet covers easily carry three adult racquets, while the outer pocket holds a phone, wallet, keys and more. They have truly designed a handbag for your racquet!

The demand for couture products made in the USA inspired Lisa and Meaghan to expand their business and branch out with new product ideas. In addition to tennis racquet covers, Glam Slam designs clutch purses, tote bags, wristlets and paddle racquet bags.

Meaghan and Lisa certainly did not forget about creating a product for their kids. They produce the same tennis racquet cover style in vibrant neon colors using denier nylon for bag construction. K-Slam is what they refer to as their kid couture line of tennis racquet covers. Having the same design and functionality as the leather couture bags, K-Slam covers are perfect for children enrolled in tennis programs and camps. Parents can now pack their child’s K-Slam cover with all of the necessities for the entire day. They don’t have to worry about their kids losing a racquet or pair of sneakers because it all fits in the bag … it’s a knapsack for their racquet!

Glam Slam Gear continues to thrive in the niche market of tennis because each of their product lines bear the same quality and dedication to being practical and elegant. The idea of having couture sporting accessories appeals to many women who have a keen sense of fashion and competition. Unlike many designers, Glam Slam Gear prides themselves on unique fabrics and limited productions of those unique fabrics.

Whether it be a vintage scarf or limited edition piece of jewelry, women around the world appreciate possessing a one-of-a-kind treasure to quietly boast about to their friends. It's never too late to put some GLAM in your SLAM!
