The innovative product stems from some lived experience. The blog's author, who is also the owner of James&Co, said: 'I have always carried a small cosmetic pouch with a convenient mirror with lipsticks in my handbags. It became my most useful accessory. The pouch and mirror have always been plastic and through James&Co I saw the way to replace the material on the most useful acccessory and make it widely available to replace plastic-based purses and mirrors.'

The compact pouch and mirror are plastic-free, durable, and elegant, aligning with James&Co’s commitment to sustainability. Both purse and mirror exteriors are crafted with 100% natural FSC-certified cork, the zipper on the purse is metal and interior lining is cotton. It is packaged in a non-woven bag.
