Tartan Picnic

Our bags are 100% jute, which is a strong plant grown locally in Bangladesh. The nature of this material means that the bags can withstand intense use and the test of time. And after a long and happy life, they can biodegrade on the compost.

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

Our 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 create 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.
