About Us



Founded in 2014, J. Markell is a line of exotic skin handbags and accessories that celebrates the notion of inconspicuous luxury. Founder/designer Julie Neff created the collection to fill a void in the marketplace for a line of bags that are sleek, modern and have just a hint of opulence.

J. Markell decided to expand and create a jewelry line with a twist. Enter Liz Pulaski, Jewelry designer and native of Houston, Texas. Their love of diamonds, exotic skin, and a desire to shake up the jewelry industry led to JULZ being born. Julie and Liz decided to elevate the line even more by adding sapphire and turquoise to their collection.

All J. Markell & JULZ products are environmentally friendly. Every design is created using by-products of a food source, nothing wasted, never harming any animals.
