Jacksons' jute beach bag – the perfect blend of fun and mindfulness for your shopping adventures! Whether you're jetting off on a holiday, grabbing your everyday essentials, or hitting the shops, these bags are your stylish companion. They're not just for carrying stuff; they're a playful addition to your wardrobe and can even spruce up your home decor!
Handcrafted with love in Bangladesh and designed at our Notting Hill shop, each bag is a unique creation – no two are exactly alike. These bags are not just pretty faces; they're also strong, stylish, and oh-so-easy to travel with. Their sturdy jute material ensures they can handle whatever you throw at them, standing the test of time with ease. And when their journey eventually comes to an end, they can gracefully biodegrade on the compost heap.
But the benefits don't stop there! Choosing jute is a smart move for our planet too. Unlike cotton, jute grows quickly (harvested every 4 to 6 months) and requires minimal water, making it a more sustainable choice. Studies even suggest that jute benefits the soil and air, acting as a carbon sink. While we're not claiming perfection on the sustainability front, opting for jute is a step in the right direction towards fairer, eco-friendlier production methods.
In summary, our beach bags offer a fun yet mindful shopping experience, whether you're hitting the streets or strolling down the aisles. They're not just beach tote bags; they're your versatile sidekick for every occasion, adding a touch of joy and style wherever you go.

A hidden gem in Notting Hill since 1998, The Jacksons, co- founded by costumer designer Louise Jackson ( and back then, also by her sister Joey Jackson). A desire for a stage with props led to a shop where dressing up is not just for the young and colour is obligatory.
The boutique is full of bright clothes, jewellery, gifts and homewares - one of the original lifestyle boutiques in Notting Hill with brands from around the world.
As the shop has evolved over the years, it has grown to represent a spirit of uniqueness and sustainability that goes beyond fashion trends.
Time spent in the shop is not just for browsing the rails of colourful clothes, reading our clever word jute bags or even looking up at the entertaining papier mache animal heads that are hanging, but it is a place where dressing up is encouraged , conversations are started, advice is given if wanted and relationships are built.
Customers are often surprised by what they buy, but are always, and more importantly, confident in how they feel in the clothes and what they are communicating when wearing them.
The majority of The Jacksons products are made from jute — a plant that is completely rain fed and requires no additional energy. Making jute products virtually carbon free. The jute plant starts absorbing carbon after only a few weeks of growth, thus acting as a carbon sink.
