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!

I purchased a bag for my wife. I decided on the Jenna in daffodil. The picture is beautiful, but when you see the bag for real it is stunning. My wife absolutely loved her new bag. The ordering process was simple and we received her bag in just a few days. Thank you. Sincerely Jim Limberakis

I used the Chelsea bag as my carry on for our visit to see the in laws in Scotland. I got so many compliments on it in the UK that I’m thinking you really need to advertise and sell over there too! It was a great size for taking everything I needed on the plane and it fit under the seat in front of me. I never expected to be someone who had a closet full of handbags but these are so well made and versatile that I feel more like I am making an investment than a frivolous purchase. I’ve now got purple, red, color and pink. I’m waiting to see if you ever do an aqua! Love love love these bags!

I just received my first Janell Bag. It will most definitely not be my last. This handbag, the Jenna, is the perfect size for me, great color, and exceptionally well made. The hardware is pretty, functional, and sturdy. The lining is beautiful, and the bag has a wonderful soft leather feel. I admit to a pocketbook/handbag fetish, and this is my new all -time favorite already. I have quite a few upscale designer handbags, but this one overshadows them all. I was surprised and very pleased that it arrived so quickly, a day earlier than expected! Thanks for making a great product! Quality products are becoming increasingly hard to find. Keep up the great work! A new advocate from Pennsylvania.

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!

Just received my Kelly green Jenna bag. It is my first but I am sure not my last Janell bag. It is so beautiful and well made; I just love it . Even the lining is pretty. I love handbags and have many but I am certain this one will be a favorite. I am honored to carry a bag made in Maine. Thank you for your beautiful work

I just purchased my second Ashley. It is the perfect everyday bag – large enough for all that I need, with several pockets to keep everything organized and easily accessible. The finishing on the bag is beautiful. I am always looking for products made in the USA. I’m so glad I found Janell!

My husband purchased a beautiful Jenna bag for me as a gift. Although lovely, I was in the market for a Crossbody purse. After an easy conversation with Janell, we took a ride and were welcomed at her shop in Newport. She was SO patient with my questions and requests. Within a week, my custom Kate Crossbody purse was delivered to me. It is the perfect size, complete with pockets that met my picky preferences, unique color and anchored strap. Her creativity, personal touch and professional service is unmatched. Thank you!!

I just picked up my first Janelle pocket book, it is beautiful and the quality is excellent. I am a die hard MK bags. But Janelle bags are top of the line. I am in love with her bags. I definitely going to get more.

I received my first, but will not be my last, Jenna bag just yesterday. I am not only thrilled with the quality, but proud that this is locally crafted. I am so pleased that you have decided to create your business in central Maine, and I will be happy to add to my collection. The cappuccino Jenna bag is beautiful, the leather is amazingl I’m definately sold on Janell bags!
