After more than ten years of hand-painting these jute bags I have decided to change my career and close my Folksy shop after Christmas. These are the last few bags that I have in stock and I am hoping that you will find something you like.
Thank you for your custom over the years, it's been wonderful.
best wishes

I started painting the bags in 2008 and never imagined that they would be so popular or that I would still be painting them more than ten years later. As a freelance seamstress, this extension to my work portfolio has provided an extra income and an opportunity to discover new skills and I feel so pleased to have created something that has brought joy to so many people as well as having had a positive impact on the ecosystem and the people involved in growing the jute.
I love working and painting and I am grateful that I am still able to work, but I need to find a job that is pain free until I am able to retire and spend my days bird watching, protesting for environmental protection and baking vegan cakes.

Individual hand-painted biodegradable
A bag that says something about you, rather than the supermarket!
I sell individually hand-painted, environmentally friendly, jute bags. I design and cut the stencil myself and because I paint each one individually, they are never identical and may differ slightly from the one pictured. The are then, individual little works of art!
Jute is a natural based vegetable fibre composed of cellulose and a typical jute bag has a lifespan in excess of 1,000 plastic bags. Jute is a very sustainable crop and is totally biodegradable. The company I buy my bags from have won awards for their ethical and environmental standards. The bags have ‘climate neutral’ status, are shipped rather air freighted and are fairly traded.
These bags measure 30 cms (width) x 30 cms (height) x 20 cms (gusset). (All measurements are approximate) This is a perfect sized bag if you are walking to the shop, travelling on public transport, for picnics, or going out for the day. It is light and though it might look small it has a deceivingly large capacity due to the wide gusset which also allows the bag to stand unaided. It has a padded handle which sits comfortably in your hand or on your forearm.
