Emma

Usually there is what I call a “learning curve” when carrying a new bag for the first time. With my Janell bag, the first outing was so easy! I didn’t have to figure out which pocket I had put things in, and it was an easy grab each time I reached for something. I love the style, the beauty, and the design!!

So many bags! It started with the large Ashley, some years ago. That first bag sold me on the craftsmanship, design and quality of the brand. Lizzie was another purchase – beautiful, functional work bag. Two Ava’s followed – both were gifts but only one ended up being a gift LOL! The Ava holds so much as a wristlet – and it is great to grab for a quick dash out the door. Next for me was the Emma – every woman needs a good crossbody bag and this is it! Perfect size to be crossbody yet holds so much. It is a true pleasure to support a Maine business! I’m not sure, but I would guess they never sleep! Thank you for sharing your skill and your beautiful bags and for making Maine the home of Janell Bags

Just received my third Janell bag.. this one is a blue willow Emma bag. So pretty! Beautiful lining. Bag has pockets and a place for all my stuff!! Cross body strap is very long but adjustable. Love the “feet” on the bottom

I saw your ad in Yankee Magazine and thought I would take a look as I really love shopping for local, American made items. When I saw the silver bags I just had to have one! My Emma Crossbody arrived today and I am so delighted with the bag. The quality is excellent, the color is wonderful and the size and handle versatility is perfect. The only downside to this purchase is that I am going to want another Janell handbag much sooner than I might have planned for. I’m so happy I saw that ad! Thank you!

Again, LOVING my new Janell Bag. I just bought the Emma Crossbody and it is the perfect size, weight and style. I have wanted this one for a long time and it didn’t disappoint. I bought it in black and it is stunning (Janell kindly crafted a custom liner for me…); I can’t say enough about these bags. They are beautiful! Keep ’em coming Janell. Thank you, thank you.

I got on this website to post a review, noticed the Ellie bag was on sale, and purchased one in Persian Red. I know I will love it as much as I do the Purple Royalty Jenna and the Oceanside Teal Emma Crossbody I bought earlier this year. I like and need well-made purses, and these really measure up. And the colors are so rich and beautiful. I’m already trying to decide which bag will be the next in my collection!

My “Emma” bag arrived yesterday and went out the door with me today. It is love at first sight. Everything about this bag is a 10+. The choice of crossbody or handle is perfect. Overall size and both exterior and interior pocket sizes are just right. I love the lining. Beautiful print fabric. Coordinates with the exterior and allows me to see everything. It is not just a dark hole inside which you can neither see or find anything. I’m going to need another one…soon!
