Bright and bold, developed using traditional macramé techniques for over 15 years, The Jacksons jute bags are both practical and playful. Designed in their Notting Hill studio then handmade by craftswomen in rural southern Bangladesh, they’re the perfect beach bag, shopper, travel bag or stylish everyday tote.

Their bags are crafted entirely from locally grown jute, an extremely strong raw material which grows abundantly in Bangladesh. Known locally as the ‘golden fibre,’ jute has a low environmental impact, absorbing carbon dioxide and improving air quality.

The women who created The Jacksons bags are paid directly for the work that they do. We’re proud to be working in a project to increase financial independence for women in 60 villages across Southwest Bangladesh.

Each jute bag is individually made and truly unique. Approx. 37 x39 with a 16cm base.

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 .
