This iconic building – the last jute mill in Dundee – is to be demolished to make way for new homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Known in its industrial heyday as the “city of jute, jam and journalism”, Dundee was named in 2014 by the United Nations as the UK’s first UNESCO<\/a> City of Design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around 100 years ago Dundee was synonymous with the jute industry being the largest manufacturing base for the plant anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At that time almost half of the workers in Dundee were in the textile industry which was dominated by jute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s amazing is that Dundee is around 9,000 miles from Kolkata – the main port in India from where jute was exported!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But jute was an extremely important fibre – it’s cheap and quick to grow, tough and durable – the ultimate sustainable material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, all manufacturing of the jute for our bags and other products takes place near to where it’s grown. Our dedicated factory has rigorous standards for quality, safety and staff welfare – so you can rest easy knowing you are buying a truly ethical<\/a> product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
