About jlouise – Inspirations from a Shop Girl
Many women spend their lives in pursuit
of the perfect purse, always on the lookout for that special combination of style and functionality. Not Janet Fichtner.
For years her husband carried her lipstick and drivers license in his pocket whenever they went out. Carrying a handbag
was one more thing to keep track of.
When Janet transitioned from corporate world to helping her husband in his fast growing diesel performance shop, she had no idea that within a year she would be designing a signature handbag line.
The idea hit Janet “like a ton of bricks,” a way to bring bling, elegance and her classy style to her new daily world of working in a shop/garage. Full of passion, dreams, and not afraid to re-invent herself, Janet took her style and mingled it with her husband’s passion for motors, trucks, hot rods, and high performance vehicles… jlouise was born!
All of Janet's handbags are manufactured in the United States.
What makes jlouise so unique?
A fun touch of
automotive/garage concept to each handbag. She takes what is standard in a car or garage and turns it into a beautiful, stylish
handbag. Every jlouise handbag comes with a certificate of title. Each handbag includes its own make, model, year,
VIN, and body style and signed with a greasy thumb print… Janet’s other signature.
All this from a girl who grew up wanting to be a designer. What seemed impossible for a Wyoming girl 25 years ago has now been provided a second chance at an opportunity that truly presented itself. What else would you expect from a girl who plays the drums, rides a Harley, and works in a diesel performance shop? Racy… edgy… at least unique! So enjoy! Enjoy a unique, fun, sassy line that captures the dreams, elegance and classiness of every woman.
