WHO IS JANE?
Meet JANE SAIDENBERG. She’s the woman who’s going to be your go-to source for the perfect travel makeup case. Let’s also talk about the overflowing wallet that’s falling apart at the seams [like ours] from those pesky receipts you never get the time to dump.
Those are our top picks, but there’s A LOT MORE on the line.
ABOUT THE NAME:
The name sounds a bit like it should belong to a superhero. With cute styles at prices like these, she IS one of the accessory world’s superheroes. On top of that, the bags are vegan, so in her own way, she IS helping to save the world.
“Jane Marvel” is a combination of Jane’s first name and her husband’s stage name.
THE PHILOSOPHY
To create a collection of handbags that are chic AND eco friendly AND inexpensive! She really couldn’t have had better timing, considering the terrible worldwide economy. These bags are a treat that won’t break the bank and will help you get organized.
WHAT’S ON THE LINE OR “WHAT ELSE CAN I GET?”
We’ve already mentioned these first two:
*The hanging cosmetics bag - $42 [yes, that IS retail]
*The zip wallet with umpteen compartments”- $50
For heavier loads, there’s:
- THE RUNAROUND, the answer to those boring messenger bags. Here’s a great hands-free option with loads of inside pockets. More is better, right?
-THE JITNEY– this BIG bag is great for overnights, or to fit everything you need at the beach.
-THE OVERHEAD MEDIUM - [why give the airlines the satisfaction of charging you $25 – 100 for a piece of luggage?] For $99, you can buy this great bag that will fit a long weekend’s worth of clothes and shoes instead of giving it up to the airlines.
A CARING COMPANY
October is National Breast Cancer Month. Much to our delight, it seems everywhere we go has at least one “pink” item.
To commemorate National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, 10% of all proceeds from Jane Marvel’s COMPUTER BAGS & COMPUTER/MESSENGER BAGS purchased during the month of October will be donated to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
