The Jacksons bags are established worldwide as the original jute macrame bags, authentically made by hand.  Having spent over 15 years refining and pushing the boundaries of this traditional bag making technique, the brand's unique placement of words and characters are instantly recognisable. Practical and playful, they are designed for everyday use as the perfect shopper, beach bag, travel bag or stylish tote for work or pleasure. Their colourful combinations and positive affirmations are sure to bring joy to your day. 

Their bags are genuinely 100% sustainable, crafted from natural jute that grows in abundance as a weed on marginalised land in Bangladesh. Known locally as the ‘golden fibre’, jute has a low environmental impact with no need for water. It also absorbs a large amount of carbon dioxide while growing and is extremely strong as a raw material.

Our jute macrame bags are handcrafted by women living in remote rural villages in southern Bangladesh. These women work from their homes, in between caring for their families and traditionally tending the land. They are paid directly for their work, empowering them within their own society. The Jacksons are proud to support the education, healthcare and livelihoods of these craftspeople who have become Louise Jackson’s “extended family”.

At The Jacksons, we believe that employment leads to independence, empowerment and status. This is why, for more than twelve years now, Louise and her team have been working relentlessly, designing products with a forever concern for our artisans and the environment. Our mission and ambitions always have our friends and the planet at heart and we are striving to prove that mindful fashion is possible.

While we started this incredible adventure with a 100 women, we can now proudly say that The Jacksons provides 1,500 artisans with work all year round. A further 4,000 people are given employment opportunities through the production of jute cord, bead work and embroidery. In this partnership, artisans are being paid directly, which gives them more freedom / choices regarding their daily lives and the future.

The majority of The Jacksons products are made from jute — a plant that is completely rain fed and requires no additional energy. Making jute products virtually carbon free. The jute plant starts absorbing carbon after only a few weeks of growth, thus acting as a carbon sink.

We are constantly looking for new ways to diversify our products through the incredible and unlimited craftsmanship of our colleagues in Bangladesh. We have greatly broadened our range of beaded purses and have introduced our iconic musician decorations .
