jelly bags in TPU and PVC, from £25, in stock
The jelli.world jelly bag hub — the range, the shapes, and the guides. 35 jelly bags are in stock right now, £25 to £54. Everything on this page ships the next business day.
A jelly bag — in the US often called a jelly purse — is a handbag made from glossy translucent or opaque plastic; the wobbly, candy-like finish is where the name comes from. At jelli.world the range leads with the TPU jelly bag (thermoplastic polyurethane): firmer than the old PVC jellies, more abrasion-resistant, and far less prone to yellowing in the sun. Alongside it sits a PVC line at a lower price — softer, glossier and opaque only. If you want the full background first, start with what is a jelly bag.

The TPU bucket — £54
The rounded, roomy body most people picture when they think "jelly bag". It holds the most — phone, purse, keys and more, with space over — and it is the line the range is built on: TPU is firmer than the old PVC jellies, more abrasion-resistant, and far less prone to yellowing in the sun. Comes in translucent colours, which show what you are carrying, and solid ones, which don't. The whole line lives on the TPU jelly bag page.
35 × 25 × 14 cm · 9 colours in stock
The TPU East West — £42
Long and low, worn on the shoulder. The same TPU as the bucket — in translucents and in solids — but in an everyday format: a phone, a cardholder and a few small things. It is the one that goes from day to night without changing bags. All of it is on the East West page.
35 × 19 × 15 cm · 7 colours in stock
The PVC bucket — £25
The same roomy bucket in PVC, with a scalloped rim and the more saturated, glossier colour that material gives — the Y2K reading of the shape, and the lower-priced way into it. PVC is softer to the touch, opaque only, and less sun-stable than TPU; TPU vs PVC sets the two side by side, and the line is on the PVC page.
35 × 25 × 14 cm · 10 colours in stock
The PVC East West — £25
The East West in solid, glossy PVC, on the same measurements as its TPU sibling. It is the lowest price in the range and the bag most people start with — the shape without the structured-material premium.

Charms and accessories — from £7.99
The finishing piece — clip one to any of the bags above. On a translucent bag a charm reads from the inside as well as the out, which is half the fun of the material. Added to a bag in the same basket a charm is £5.99 rather than its own price. See how to style bag charms, or the whole set on accessories.
Browse by clarity and colour
The other way people shop a jelly bag is by how see-through it is. A clear jelly bag shows its contents and reads lighter and more playful; an opaque colour like black hides them and reads more like a conventional bag, while pastels like mint and pink sit between the two, with blue reading like water, tiffany as the vivid robin's-egg blue-green, green running from pistachio to lime, white as the frosted neutral, and the brights — orange, yellow and purple — as the boldest of the set. Our guide on translucent vs opaque walks through the trade-off, and trending bag colours 2026 covers the shades having a moment this year.
Browse by occasion
Taking one on holiday? The whole range is wipe-clean, water-resistant plastic — TPU or glossy PVC — which makes a jelly bag one of the most practical beach and holiday bags you can carry. Heading to a show, a translucent shade doubles as a venue-friendly bag — see clear bags for concerts & stadiums. And for the era that started it all, Y2K jelly bags covers the look.
Materials, care and fit
The three questions worth answering before you buy — what it's made of, how it wears, and how to keep it looking new:
- TPU vs PVC — why we lead with TPU and how the two materials age differently.
- Are jelly bags waterproof? — water-resistant body, what the seams and hardware can take.
- Jelly bag care — the wipe-clean routine and how to avoid yellowing.
- Size guide — exact dimensions for each shape and what fits inside.
- How to choose a jelly bag — the short version of everything above.

Common questions
What is a jelly bag?
A jelly bag is a handbag made from glossy translucent or opaque plastic — usually TPU or PVC — with a candy-like finish that gives it the name. It can be a small clear pouch or a structured bucket bag in solid colour. jelli.world makes both materials: TPU, the firmer and more UV-stable of the two and the material the range leads with, and a lower-priced PVC line for the softer, glossier, opaque finish.
What shapes of jelly bag does jelli.world make?
Three silhouettes in two materials, plus a set of charms: the bucket bag (rounded, roomy, in structured TPU or glossy scalloped PVC), the TPU Baguette (a slim east-west bag with twin top handles and a turn-lock flap), and the East West shoulder bag (a longer, lower carry, in TPU or PVC). By price today that is the PVC bucket £25, the PVC East West £25, the TPU East West £42, the TPU bucket £54. Bag charms finish any of them.
Are jelly bags good for everyday use?
Yes. TPU is wipe-clean, water-resistant and does not need conditioning or break-in, so a jelly bag suits daily carry, travel and events. Translucent colours show their contents, which some people style deliberately with a pouch or liner inside.
How do I choose a jelly bag size?
Match the shape to what you carry. The bucket holds the most and swallows a phone, purse and keys with room over; the baguette is a slim hand or under-arm carry for the essentials; the East West is long and low for a phone, cardholder and a few small things. The table on this page lists the exact dimensions of every shape in stock, and our size guide goes further.
How much does a jelly bag cost?
At jelli.world, £25 to £54 — the PVC bucket £25, the PVC East West £25, the TPU East West £42, the TPU bucket £54. Bag charms are £7.99, or £5.99 added to any bag. Everything on this page is in stock and ships the next business day, worldwide. The Star Tote is the one exception, and it is not a jelly bag: it is cut and stitched per order and ships in 14 days.
