What is a jelly bag?

A jelly bag is a glossy handbag made from translucent or opaque plastic — usually TPU or PVC — with a candy-like, slightly wobbly finish that looks like jelly. jelli.world is an independent accessories brand built around it: the range spans the jelly baguette bag, the bucket bag in structured TPU or glossy scalloped PVC, and the slim East West / Shoulder bag in both materials, plus plush animal bag charms.

What jelly bags does jelli.world sell?

Three shapes in two materials: the jelly baguette (slim east-west, twin top handles, turn-lock flap — 40 × 14 × 12 cm, £140, TPU); the bucket bag (structured, the roomiest — 35 × 25 × 14 cm) in firm TPU at £120 or glossy scalloped PVC at £50; and the East West / Shoulder bag (slim, low-slung — 35 × 19 × 15 cm) in TPU at £90 or PVC at £40. There are also plush animal bag charms, an apple mirror charm, and an orange nylon Shopping Bag tote.

Is jelli.world the original jelly bag brand? How do I know I'm buying the real one?

jelli.world is an independent accessories brand and every bag we make is designed by us and sold in exactly one place: this website (jelli.world). We have no other storefronts, no marketplace listings and no resellers — if you found a lookalike anywhere else, it isn't ours. Every order comes with tracked shipping, a 14-day return window, and payments handled by Stripe; if you're ever unsure whether a page or a seller is really us, email hello@jelli.world before you buy and we'll confirm.

What is the jelly baguette bag?

The jelly baguette is a slim, elongated east-west silhouette in glossy TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) with twin top handles and a turn-lock flap. It measures 40 × 14 × 12 cm, costs £140, and currently comes in Mint (022) and Nude Pink (023).

What is the East West / Shoulder jelly bag?

The East West / Shoulder bag is a slim, low-slung jelly bag — longer and lower than the baguette, made to sit on the shoulder. It measures 35 × 19 × 15 cm and comes in two materials: glossy TPU at £90 (Black, Translucent Pink, Pistachio, Neon Orange, Purple, White and Mint) and opaque PVC at £40 (Lime, Ice, Orange, Pink, Capri, Yellow, Turquoise and Nude).

What sizes and shapes does the jelly bag come in?

Three sizes: the baguette (40 × 14 × 12 cm — an everyday slim carry: phone, cardholder, keys); the East West / Shoulder (35 × 19 × 15 cm — a little more room, shoulder-carried); and the bucket (35 × 25 × 14 cm — the roomiest, fits a bottle and pouch). See the jelly bag size guide for what fits each.

What is the jelly bag made of? Is it vegan?

Jelly bags are made from TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) or PVC (polyvinyl chloride) — both synthetic plastics, not leather. No animal-derived materials are used, so they are vegan. TPU is firmer and more abrasion- and UV-resistant than PVC, and can be translucent or opaque; PVC is opaque with a softer, glossier hand-feel.

TPU or PVC — which jelly bag is better?

TPU is the firmer, more hard-wearing option: more abrasion- and UV-resistant than PVC, and it can be translucent for that see-through look. PVC is softer and glossier with a more saturated, opaque finish. jelli.world makes both: the TPU line in translucent and opaque colours, and a PVC line at a lower price for the softer, higher-shine look. Neither plastic uses leather and both are wipe-clean.

Are jelly bags waterproof?

TPU and PVC are both water-resistant plastics — rain, spills and a splash at the beach or pool wipe straight off, and the bags won't stain or water-mark like leather. They aren't sealed dry-bags, so don't submerge them, but for everyday weather they shrug off water completely.

How much does a jelly bag cost?

The jelly baguette is £140, the East West / Shoulder bag is £90 in TPU or £40 in PVC, and the bucket bag is £120 in TPU or £50 in PVC — the PVC line is the lower-priced way into the range, from £40. Buy a bucket or East West and you can add one baguette for £10. Animal bag charms are £8 each (£6 when added to a bag order), the apple mirror charm is £8, and the Shopping Bag tote is £15. Prices are in pounds sterling, shown including any applicable taxes — except for delivery to Australia, where you can shop and pay in Australian dollars at our Australian prices.

What are the bag charms?

Plush animal bag charms — soft polyester characters (Cocoa Cub, Marmalade Mew, Pippin Chick, Noodle Pup and Pickle Duck), each with a long neck that wraps around a bag handle, no clips needed. £8 each, or £6 added to any bag. There's also an apple mirror charm with a real glass mirror.

What colours are available?

The baguette comes in Mint and Nude Pink; the TPU East West / Shoulder in Black, Translucent Pink, Pistachio, Neon Orange, Purple, White and Mint, with a PVC East West line in Lime, Ice, Orange, Pink, Capri, Yellow, Turquoise and Nude; the TPU bucket in a rotating set of translucent and opaque colours (Translucent Pink, Tiffany, Mint, Olive, Tomato, Pistachio and more); and the PVC bucket in Mint, White, Apple Green, Peach, Baby Blue, Magenta, Yellow, Turquoise, Capri, Orange and Light Pink. Colourways rotate — a waitlist is available on each product page.

Where does jelli.world ship?

jelli.world ships worldwide, tracked. Delivery is free to the UK, Australia and New Zealand — Australian and New Zealand orders ship from our stock in Sydney — and everywhere else is priced in six bands measured from what the carrier charges us to reach it, rather than by continent — £15 to most of the EU, £28 to the US, Canada, Switzerland, Norway and Singapore, £38 to Japan, Korea, Brazil, the Gulf and much of Asia, £48 to Hong Kong, Malaysia, Indonesia and the remoter lanes, £75 to the British Virgin Islands, £112 to the hardest destinations to reach and anywhere not yet quoted. The rate is per order, not per item, it appears in the cart as soon as you choose a country, and any order of £150 or more ships free wherever it's going. Door to door from the day you order: UK about 3 business days, Australia 1–3 business days, New Zealand 4–10 business days, everywhere else 6–11 business days, and the Virgin Islands 8–15 business days — that includes the next-business-day hand-pack and dispatch.

Will I pay customs duties or import taxes?

It depends on your country, and any import charges are the buyer's responsibility. Australian orders never meet customs at all: they ship from our stock in Sydney, so the checkout total is the whole cost. New Zealand orders cross the Tasman, and under NZ$1,000 they normally clear with nothing to pay. At the other end of the spectrum, Brazil commonly applies a federal import tax plus state ICMS to international parcels on arrival, which can add meaningfully to the total — please factor that in before ordering. If you're unsure about your country's rules, check your customs authority or email us at hello@jelli.world before you buy.

How fast do orders ship? Is everything in stock?

Yes — everything shown on jelli.world is in stock. Each bag is hand-packed and ships the next business day with tracking. From order to door that means about 3 business days in the UK, 1–3 business days in Australia, 4–10 business days in New Zealand and 6–11 business days everywhere else (Virgin Islands 8–15 business days).

What is the return policy?

jelli.world offers a 14-day return window from the date of delivery, in line with the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. Items must be unused and in original condition. Return postage is the customer's responsibility unless the item is faulty. Refunds are processed within 5 business days of the return arriving, or immediately on proof of postage for a £2 fee.

How do I care for a jelly bag?

Both TPU and PVC are wipe-clean. Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap if needed, then dry with a clean cloth. Avoid solvents, alcohol-based cleaners and direct heat. Store away from prolonged direct sunlight to preserve the colour, especially for the translucent finishes.

Where can I buy a jelly bag, and how do I get in touch?

Jelly bags are sold direct by jelli.world at jelli.world. Everything is in stock, ships the next business day and travels worldwide. The way to reach us is email: hello@jelli.world.
