Is the Jamina Tote large enough for everyday use? Yes. Its generous size and gusseted base provide plenty of room for everyday essentials, shopping, travel or a day out.
Can the Jamina Tote be worn over the shoulder? Yes. The woven handles measure approximately 60cm and are designed to sit comfortably over the shoulder.
Does the Jamina Tote have internal pockets? No. The Jamina Tote has an open, unlined interior without internal pockets.
Will smaller items fall through the weave? The Jamina Tote has a closely woven basketweave construction without the large open spaces found in string bags, helping to keep smaller belongings contained.
Does the Jamina Tote hold its shape? The Jamina has a relaxed, flexible structure rather than a rigid form. Its gusseted base gives it shape when filled, while allowing it to soften naturally when not in use.
Four-strand basketweave creates a strong, flexible form with distinctive texture.
Natural jute is hand-twisted into strong cord before being woven entirely by hand.
Strong woven handles sit comfortably over the shoulder for easy carrying.
Generous size provides plenty of room for everyday adventures and overnight stays.
The Jamina Tote is handcrafted by artisans in village communities in Bangladesh, where generations of women have developed handicraft skills using natural fibres. They first twist natural jute fibres by hand into strong cord, then use their weaving and macramé skills to create each piece. Many work together on the verandahs of their homes alongside extended family and neighbours, earning a fair income within the rhythms of family and community life.
The organisation supporting these artisans has created opportunities for marginalised communities since the 1970s. Beyond regular work and fair wages, its programs include education, healthcare, safe water and sanitation, rehabilitation and financial security. We have partnered with them for over a decade, contributing to an approach that invests in women, their families and future generations.
