Since opening in Notting Hill in 1998, former fashion PR Joey and costume designer Louise's boutique The Jacksons has become a must-go destination for the well-heeled and well-informed. Conceived from a passion for dressing up, everything you find here is of impeccable quality, taste and is particularly chosen to stand the test of time in these disposable days.

Designed by the Jacksons and hand-crafted by local artisans in Southwest Bangladesh, these beautiful jute “word-bags” are available in a range of local vibrant hues and will surely bring out the fun on trips to the gym, beach or shops. The bags are lightweight, flexible and very durable.

“Salento Mio” large tote Bag - yellow/scarlet

Material: 100% Jute

Measures: Roughly 44cm x 42cm x 10cm - 16 cm handle drop

Jacksons’s shopper/ tote bags are all made from jute. Because each bag is handmade, it makes each one unique and not one bag is exactly the same.

They are the perfect bag for essentials for your holidays, everyday routines, shopping and travelling.

They are a joyous stylish feature for your wardrobe or even as home decor.

Supporting Women in Rural Bangladesh: Jacksons work with talented handicraft women in rural Bangladesh. The women have the option to work at the community centre or at home to fit in with their family lives'. The women are paid directly. They support the education, healthcare and livelihoods of the craftspeople in Bangladesh who have become Louise’s “extended family”.

Another benefit of jute is that it is very strong- all bags can carry between 10 kgs -14 kgs. Each bag contains 450m of jute. Jute bags are handmade and no machinery is used at all throughout the process, except for the dying. Only Azo free dyes are used.
