NEW! Cork Cosmetic Pouch and Mirror: Eco Must-Have

Our latest release for retailers welcoming the opportunity to stand out and lead in sustainability is the James&Co CONNIE cork cosmetic pouch and mirror duo.       

More than just an accessory; it’s the sustainable ultimate daily essential for women. The square mirror fits perfectly inside the pouch, leaving ample room for daily essentials like lipsticks, makeup, fold-over combs, and more. The compact design ensures it slides effortlessly into carrying bags.

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. 

CONNIE is a unique offering in Australia exclusively from designer and sustainable wholesale brand James&Co. Retailers won't find it from any other supplier, or a similar product from any other brand, making it a distinct opportunity to stand out and lead in sustainability.
