Our Artisanal Heritage
Last Updated: November 10, 2024
Handcrafted in Morocco
At Jelbag, we believe that each product should tell a story. Our leather bags, purses, tote bags, wallets, and backpacks are meticulously crafted by skilled artisans in Morocco who have honed their craft over generations. By blending traditional techniques with contemporary design, our artisans bring timeless beauty and authenticity to every piece.
Why Moroccan Artisans?
Morocco is renowned for its vibrant culture of leatherwork and handcrafting. Passed down through family lines, these techniques require precision, patience, and passion. Every stitch reflects the heart and soul of the artisan behind it, ensuring that no two pieces are ever truly identical. When you carry a Jelbag product, you carry with you a piece of Morocco’s rich heritage.
Authenticity & Quality
- Genuine Materials: Our artisans source high-quality leather and materials from local tanneries, preserving traditional processes that respect and uphold centuries-old craftsmanship.
- Hand-Stitching & Detailing: Each bag is entirely hand-stitched and carefully finished, ensuring a distinctive personal touch and the utmost attention to detail.
- Unique Character: Natural variations in the leather and the artisan’s technique mean every piece has subtle, one-of-a-kind characteristics.
Social Impact & Fair Trade
We are committed to uplifting the communities we collaborate with. Our partnership model ensures fair compensation for Moroccan artisans, supporting local families and preserving cultural traditions.
- Fair Wages: We provide transparent, above-market compensation for each craftsman’s skill and time.
- Community Support: By working directly with artisan cooperatives and small family workshops, we foster local entrepreneurship and empower artisans to pass their craft to the next generation.

Each purchase contributes to sustaining the livelihoods of artisans and preserving the handcrafting practices that make Moroccan leatherwork so unique.
