The It-Girl bag: your perfect companion for the summer!

Are you ready for this summer? You may have checked all of the boxes for essentials, but what about the bag? And we’re not just talking any bag – we’re talking versatile, unique, and eco-conscious all at once. A bag that can be worn anytime, anywhere! Whether you’re going to the mall, heading for brunch, or hitting the beach. The Jacksons bag is your perfect companion for the summer! It comes in various shapes, sizes, and colors, and is made to fit your every mood and destination.

How we stumbled across this gem

In one of her many travels to look for unique finds to bring to the UAE, Fatima came across The Jacksons’ stand in a pop-up market all the way in London. As she looked through the different designs, there was something that captivated her; the bags were intricately made. These bags were not only pretty, but were also handmade by artisan women in Bangladesh. It was then when she decided she was going to bring The Jacksons to The Saffron Souk, as part of our effort to curate unique brands and bring them to the market here.

The Jacksons bags reflect everything we stand for at The Saffron Souk; from women employment and empowerment, to supporting artisans and craftsmanship, and preserving the environment. And Fatima was keen on getting these beautiful pieces into the UAE market, where a lot of people share our values. Since we started working with The Jacksons in 2023, the bags have become a staple go-to in the region, as they are both meaningful and fashionable. 

 What you’re looking at is the original word bag; why say “merci”, “ciao”, or “out of office” when you can simply have your gorgeous bag say it for you? You can now elevate your style with a bag that is not only a unique fashion statement, but also a thoughtfully crafted piece. The Jacksons bags are handmade by over 1,500 women using eco-conscious materials, which aligns with our commitment to supporting women and small businesses while keeping the planet in mind!

 When you purchase a bag from The Jacksons, you’re giving back to Mother Earth and fighting consumerism through thoughtful and eco-friendly choices. In fact, most of The Jacksons’ products are made from jute — a plant that grows solely with rainwater and needs no extra energy to cultivate. All the fashion-savvy people and influencers know that this is a brand worth supporting. This summer, we invite you all spice your style up with gorgeous bags that are also a conversation starter, and shop your statement piece exclusively through The Saffron Souk!

We also encourage you to keep an eye out for The Jacksons’ newest homeware collection through The Saffron Souk. These products are an ode to their colorful and eco-conscious designs and aesthetic that are also handmade by craftswomen in Bangladesh. Together, we can support small businesses and entrepreneurs, empower women in rural areas, and leave a lasting impact on the world. The fashion industry is changing, and together, we can strike conversations about our choices. And what better way to do that than serve looks and values by rocking a bag from The Jacksons.
