MISSION STATEMENT
Since its founding in 2001, Ja Ja Ja Purses has evidenced a commitment to Green Values, in general, and recycling in particular through .its use of repurposed, and reclaimed fabrics to make unique purses and bags.
The dedication to making our contribution to a more sustainable world intensified in 2004 as we decided to only use fabrics which have a “prior life” or history. Our bags are quite green except the magnetic snaps and interfacing. We are currently researching bamboo interfacing.
We are proud to contribute our small part to a less wasteful world.

That top picture is a new style by Ja Ja Ja, “Cher.” Cher is an extra large tote with 6 outside pockets and 4 inside pockets. I love a roomy bag with lots of pockets!
Wendy--a medium sized bag with a buckle closure, front pocket, side pockets, and 2 inside pockets.
One of the neat things about Ja Ja Ja Purses is that written on the tag is a description of what type of prior use the fabric has had. For instance, one said, “1960′s fabric from San Francisco vintage shop.” Another said, ”drapery fabric from estate sale.” I love how it gives you a story of where the bag came from. Makes it more personal, like if you had made something new out of your mom’s old bedspread or the curtains from your childhood bedroom. This reminds me to buy less new stuff and shop the thrift stores. I got all of my favorite stuff there years ago…pre-broken in, and unique. Just another way to support the economy non-wastefully.
Rennie is an extra large bag that has puffy elastic pockets on 3 sides and a straight pocket on the back, with one pocket on the inside. Expands to be 15 x 16 x 9.5 inches.
