The New Year it a time for starting over, evaluating, making room for the new and getting rid of the old. As a recovering perfectionist and self-proclaimed neat freak, I love everything in its place and the stylish products that hold it all. So it was no surprise that I fell in love (head over heels) with the bag collection from Jimeale New York. Realizing there was a market for fun and functional cosmetic bags, Jimeale Jorgensen, created a bag for all organized occasions.
The Broome Street is great for your purse or work bag. Small with three inside pockets, but large enough to hold cosmetics, mints, and anything else you might need. The Elizabeth Street can fit all your cosmetics and it's long enough to hold your make-up brushes as well. The Wooster, Thompson and Spring Street bags are the most unique in the industry. The size of bags can hold all of your travel needs with pouches and compartments to keep organized. The Mulberry Street is the mother of all bags. It's big enough to hold of all your toiletries, plus a travel blow dryer and flat iron. It has two inside pockets and a detachable pouch. It comes in a set with the Mott, Broome and Elizabeth Street bags. And don't forget an overnight bag - choose from the Charlie, Nicola or the Polly.
Not only are the bags beautiful and high-quality, they are affordable ranging from $20-$70. (not much more than you would pay in the department or drug stores). I have one in my bathroom for my cosmetics, one in my kitchen for my vitamins, and a couple in my overnight bag for traveling.
What makes these bags even more of a must-have is that
Jimeale donates 15% of net profits to
Boarding for Breast Cancer, a non-profit, youth-focused education, awareness, and fundraising foundation. Their mission is to increase awareness about breast cancer, the importance of early detection and the value of an active lifestyle.
