The Jacksons Gertie Stripe Bag

The Jacksons Bags are playful yet mindful carry-bag alternatives, be it to hold your holiday essentials, your everyday necessities, or as a shopping and travelling companion. They are made from 100% jute, 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, happy life, they can biodegrade in the compost.

About The Jacksons

“An ethical brand taking a responsible approach to materials and the planet whilst helping to strengthen womens' role in society.” - Louise Jackson, The Jacksons London

The beautiful and durable hand-crafted jute bags from The Jacksons are a joyous outcome of the design collaboration between Louise and the skilful handicraft workers in south-west Bangladesh. The partnership began in 2012 and The Jacksons are now working closely with over 3000 women in Bangladesh, striving to help overcome poverty and improve the women’s social standing while creating beautiful works of art. These women are paid directly, giving them independence and status, empowering them to make decisions within the family, as well as access to free medical care and schools thanks to this dynamic collaboration.
