I love my jamescyn...it's so beautiful that when I'm not using it, I hang it on the wall like a piece of art! I just love it!

I am the proud owner of two jamescyns. To say I love them is an understatement. They are conversation pieces because of their artistry...in everything from the unique design, quality of fabric, and subtle, yet eye-catching, points of finish. The interiors are so beautiful, I feel like I'm going into a special place that is decorated just for me. The interiors are so well made the bags could almost be reversible! As a business woman, I am also happy with the functionality, practicality, and especially the durability of my jamescyns.

Cynthia James' handbags are amazing - and I say this as a connoisseur and collector of handmade artisan bags. The fabrics Cynthia uses were what first caught my attention. Rich tapestries and velvets are used on the outside of the bags and the attention to detail continues inside the bags as well. A gorgeous contrasting silk, tapestry, or satin lining is chosen and hand sewn into the bag. The combination of colors and textures makes for a stunning visual effect in each bag.

I have two jamescyns, and they are definitely eye-catching. It's not unusual for people to stop me and ask where I bought such a beautiful bag. I plan to add to my collection... as soon as Cynthia gets back from Ireland!

"We recently caught up with Cynthia James, designer of the new line, JamesCyn handbags. We were pleasantly surprised to find an uber interesting and passionate woman who is not only a handbag designer but a former ballet dancer, costumer, choreographer and world traveler. Her rich background weaves itself, literally, into her amazing bags.."

" 'I figured if I have an appreciation for detail, other people must too! I focus on perfection that I appreciate myself and choose to focus on what I think makes things special.' Don't forget magical Cynthia because your handbags are nothing less!"

"The clutch bag accessory of course comes in any size, and thus is a great way to work toward downsizing your bags. You easily remove the small clutch (much like a money purse wallet) from a larger tote bag, and this is great way to ease yourself into using smaller handbags."
"Or try a crafted bag like this novel Eire design from jamescyn.com. It has a vintage expanding circular metal closure and bracelet handle. It's simply magical for a special occasion. Jamescyn Eire bag in green velvet, lined in golden silk and with a secret pocket. Exquisite - I love it."
