Steeped in mystery and history, Bodmin Jail stands as one of Cornwall’s most captivating heritage attractions. Built in 1779, this once-formidable prison has been reimagined as an award-winning visitor experience — where tales of Georgian and Victorian crime and punishment come vividly to life. With its immersive Dark Walk, atmospheric architecture, and thrilling paranormal tours, Bodmin Jail connects visitors to Cornwall’s past in a way that’s both educational and unforgettable.

When Bodmin Jail sought high-quality, sustainable merchandise that reflected the character and heritage of the attraction, GoJute was proud to deliver a collection of eco-friendly, branded bags designed to combine practicality with style and sustainability.

The collection includes the GJ021 Small Jute Bag, a compact and sturdy option featuring quality lined jute fabric, a fine 14/15 weave, and soft cotton padded handles for comfort. Measuring 26cm wide by 24cm high with a 17cm depth, it’s ideal for smaller purchases or keepsakes from the jail’s gift shop.

For a larger, more versatile option, we provided the GJ030 Standard Portrait Jute Bag, crafted from the same premium jute material and lined for extra durability. This bag, finished in crisp white to complement Bodmin Jail’s branding, measures 35cm by 40cm with a 15cm base — offering generous space while maintaining a stylish, polished look.

To complete the range, Bodmin Jail also selected our GJCOTT 5oz Cotton Bag, a lightweight, reusable design with long shoulder handles for convenience. Printed on a white fabric base, it provides a versatile, cost-effective solution for visitors seeking a sustainable souvenir or everyday tote.

Each bag in the Bodmin Jail collection reflects GoJute’s commitment to eco-conscious materials, ethical production, and quality craftsmanship. Combining natural fibres with thoughtful design, these products serve as functional mementos that extend the visitor experience beyond the site itself — reminding guests of their journey into Cornwall’s dark history every time they reuse their bag.

This collaboration showcases how heritage attractions like Bodmin Jail can embrace sustainable retail solutions without compromising on brand identity or quality. By choosing jute and cotton — renewable, biodegradable materials — Bodmin Jail demonstrates its dedication to preserving both Cornwall’s past and its future.

At GoJute, we’re proud to partner with attractions that value authenticity, storytelling, and sustainability. Whether it’s an iconic landmark or a growing local brand, our goal remains the same: to create bags with purpose, built to last, and designed to tell a story worth carrying.
