Supporting Women in Rural Bangladesh
The Jacksons London 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. We're proud to 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. Each bag contains 450m of jute. These jute bags are handmade and no machinery is used at all throughout the process, except for the dying. Only Azo free dyes are used.
Using jute is also a clever option when thinking about our carbon footprint and the climate impact of our products. Indeed, jute grows much quicker than cotton (it can be harvested every 4 to 6 months) and requires much less water. Studies suggest that jute is beneficial to the soil and air of the area, acting as a carbon sink.*
Sustainability is a long journey and we know we are miles away from perfect but choosing jute as the main material of our products, is a promising step towards a fairer, more sustainable method of production.
In a nutshell, these bags are the perfect option for a fun but mindful shopping alternative, as you can take them to carry your holiday essentials, your everyday go-to, or for shopping and travelling.
