Kate

After years of wishing for a Janell bag, I purchased the Kate bag and it was beautiful, but a little too small for what I needed. I spoke to Janell, and she was very helpful with my return and refund. I received my new Camille bag yesterday, and it is perfect for what I need. The quality is amazing, it definately won’t fall apart like my cheap Amazon bags did! And I love how it looks, simple, elegant and classy! Thanks Janell for your lovely work, we will definately recommend you for anyone wanting a quality beautiful bag.

Love my Kate bag. The workmanship and hardware are first rate. I have already received compliments on the ocean blue color.This will not be my last Janell.

Just received my breath taking new color peony Kate Crossbody bag. I was blown away. Gorgeous. Love it. I can’t wait to start wearing it with Spring coming soon. This is my 4th bag & love each color. Thanks Janell. Jackie from Massachusetts

I ordered your bag for my first airplane trip in 18 months and it is lovely! I can take off the shoulder strap on the Kate bag and it slips down into my small backpack as part of my “personal” carry on and when I reach my destination, it works well to keep my charge cards, cellphone, wallet and a few personal items close to hand. It’s dressy enough for a nice dinner out or practical enough to hold the necessaries for window shopping, sightseeing or a trip to the store. The interior lining is a pop of color and the stitching and leather quality is top notch. The cocoa bean leather color works well for brown or black needs and I can see ordering another colorway in the near future. Thank you!

Admit it, we’re all the same – we have a closet shelf full of bags that were “just perfect” when we took them out of the store, used them once, and there they are on the shelf with all the other “perfect” ones – NOT! Just received my Kate in blue willow, and suffice it to say, it will NOT be joining the others on the closet shelf. This one really is exactly what I was looking for. I only wish that I wasn’t retired so I’d have an excuse to purchase a larger one. And it ticks off all the blocks: made locally, sourced locally and a business basically run and staffed by women. I’ll be stopping by on my next trip to Maine (soon, I hope).

Just received my new gorgeous Kate bag in cobalt blue. I am very pleased with the craftsmanship. I’ve always enjoyed a small bag & the Kate bag is just my size. Thanks

Just got my Chelsea today! I have been wanting this bag for a long time and I am over the moon over it!! It is so well made and smells divine!! Did I mention it is my 5th Janell bag?? I now own, Chelsea, Jenna, and two Ava’s. My daughter owns Kate, not to mention that we have 4 bracelets. It’s official – I have a Janell bag sickness!! I must have more!! Sold all of my Dooney’s on eBay and I’m never looking back! If you look at these bags as a little pricey, don’t let that stop you because you are getting MUCH MORE than your money’s worth!! These will last you a lifetime and they cost no more and maybe even less than some designer bags and I’ve already had designer bags fall apart on me! These will not!! So proud to carry these bags! I’m coming back for more!

Repeat customer here!! Just received the Kate bag with crossbody strap and matching LOVE bracelet all in purple royalty. This is an Easter gift for my 15 year old daughter who isn’t allowed sugar – and boy, this will surpass any chocolate that she would’ve received! She’s going to forget all about candy when she sees this!! She’ll be just like mom now with her own Janell bag and she will feel special knowing how much mom cared to purchase this handmade beauty from Maine instead of a prefabricated bag from a department store!! You’ve done it again Janell! Thank you so much for this beautiful and exquisite bag and matching bracelet!! Super fast shipping too!

My husband got me a Kate crossbody in cappuccino for my 40th birthday a few days ago. I like it. I needed a new one.He knew I was looking at them & he surprised me & got one for. I like the smell of the new leather & heavy outer zipper & the material print inside. Very nice.
