About Purple Jam

Purple Jam

Hi! I’m Kerry and I make bags

After leaving my job as an art & crafts tutor to adults due to ill health, I took up sewing. After trying (and failing) to make several items of clothing (which would probably have been a perfect fit for a potato) I turned my hand to making bags. After a year of collating beautiful bag patterns from various designers; networking to get the right fabric suppliers on board and honing my bag making skills - here I am!

I flippin’ love making bags. Choosing just the right interior fabrics, to go with just the right leather or denim, to go with just the right bag pattern, to create the perfect, one of a kind, never to be repeated, fabulous bag, is my idea of heaven!

You can usually find me, working in my top floor studio at home, in Shropshire,

    Absolutely beautiful bag and perfect for everyday. Love that's its made from reclaimed materials too. The attention to detail and little extras have made this a very special ppurchase and it's arrived beautifully wrapped and all those little extras. Thank you very much xx

    Sent a link to my OH, and got this for Valentine's Day!
    Love it.
    It's a good size, big enough to hold plenty, yet not too big for comfort.
    LOTS of pockets, which I find essential.
    Gorgeous leather, and I love that it was 'rescued' from landfill.
    The lining is a really pretty contrast to the black leather.
    Feels strong and well made and the strap is comfortable and adjustable.
    Altogether a bargain for a bag of this quality.
    Thank you! x
    Oh - and it smells fabulous too!
