Jute Handbags
Jute, also known as burlap or Hessian cloth, is said to have over 1,000 different uses. It is a coarse natural fibre made from the Corchorus plant, which grows in warm, humid climates and is produced mainly in India, Pakistan and Thailand. The Corchorus fibre is spun into thick, strong threads and has a long history of use in the production of sackings, carpets, wrapping fabrics and construction fabric in the manufacturing industry. Jute fabric is very similar to hemp in texture and durability.
Durability is one of the key features of jute, which makes it easy to produce, handle and pack. It is one of the most important vegetable fibres in the world, after cotton and hemp. It can be used for many different purposes. In addition to a growing trend toward jute as a fabric used in handbag manufacturing, today, jute is mainly used for floor coverings, curtains and furniture covering material.
As a crop, Jute is environmentally friendly to plant, grow, harvest and produce. It is recyclable and biodegradable as well and does not emit toxic substances in its manufacturing. The global trend toward environmentally friendly alternatives is making jute a very popular substitute for cotton and other materials that are a more harmful crop to produce.
Not your regular straw bag, jute bags are more durable, water resistant and less likely to stretch or warp than straw. Jute can be transformed into flexible, diverse, colourful material. It is multi-purpose fabric; it can be cut to make a bag of any shape, detailed with silkscreen and hand-painted with different paints, inks and dyes.
Many handbags designers combine jute with other fabrics and details for a distinctive combination. Jute bags with leather handles are popular, as are jute bags with denim or cotton inserts. Jute can be coupled with luxurious fabrics like silk and velvet for a chic look. The contrasting fabrics give the handbags a unique and vibrant style and the combinations and possibilities are endless. Many designers add different accents such as hand beading, embroidery and metal hardware such as grommets and studs. Join the jute movement. It's flexible, colourful, hard-wearing and easy to carry. The trend toward this natural wonder is growing.
