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. Our 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”. 6 x 30cm. 13cm gusset. 14cm handle drop (2cm wide).
