Constantine Bay Stores
Constantine Bay Stores, a cornerstone of the local community since 1925, began as a traditional village shop established by the Davies family. Originally focused on locally sourced farm goods and everyday provisions, the store has evolved alongside the village, adapting to its transformation into a popular coastal destination. With an increase in visitors and holiday homeowners, the shop has expanded its offering to include fine wines, artisan produce, and thoughtful gifts.
Situated in the heart of Constantine Bay, near renowned surfing beaches such as Constantine Bay and Boobys Bay, the store occupies a unique position in one of Cornwall’s most desirable holiday locations. As part of its continued growth and connection with its community, Constantine Bay Stores began introducing branded reusable bags as a way to offer utility to customers while subtly promoting the shop’s identity.
The bag journey began with the GJCANV8 — a lightweight, long-handled 8oz cotton canvas tote perfect for daily shopping and beach essentials. Building on its popularity, the store introduced the GJ019 large landscape jute bag, offering a more structured and spacious design made from lined jute with luxury padded cotton handles — ideal for larger hauls and gift purchases.
To mark its centenary year, Constantine Bay Stores released a limited-edition run of commemorative bags. These included the GJ011 large juco/jute bag, a blend of jute and cotton with refined finishes, and the GJCANV12 — a 12oz water-repellent cotton canvas bag with a 20cm juco base, offering both durability and ample space for coastal adventures. The navy colour and premium quality gave the anniversary range a distinctive, collectible appeal.
Each bag in the range has proven to be highly successful among customers. Their practical design and long-lasting materials made them a reliable part of daily life, while their branding ensured they remained a quiet yet effective promotional tool. Whether used for groceries, picnics, beach outings or travel, the bags allowed Constantine Bay Stores to extend its presence far beyond the shopfront — offering genuine value to customers and reinforcing its place at the heart of the community.
