Jane Austen Bags

Whether you’re heading out for the day, off to book club or looking for a gift for a fellow Janeite, our Jane Austen bags are made to be carried and loved. The collection brings together tote bags, leather handbags, purses and coin purses inspired by Jane’s novels, with many pieces exclusive to us.

Jane Austen Tote Bags

Our Jane Austen Tote Bag is made from heavy-weight recycled cotton canvas and features an exclusive illustration of the Jane Austen Centre’s facade in Bath on both sides. It comes in navy or green with cream trim and measures 36cm x 38cm x 12cm, so there’s plenty of room for a novel or two. For a more relaxed look, the Austen Varsity Tote Bag is a soft, unstructured cotton canvas tote with bold printed lettering. Pair yours with a quote tee or jumper from our casual clothing range.

Leather Handbags and Straps

Our Jane Austen Customisable Leather Bag is made in Italy from premium grained leather and comes in black or biscuit. It measures 21cm x 16cm x 9cm, with an internal zip pocket and an adjustable shoulder strap. Make it your own with one of our exclusive handbag straps: Obstinate Headstrong Girl, Mr Darcy’s Most Ardently or My Dearest.

Pride and Prejudice Book Clutch Bags

For a truly special occasion, our Pride and Prejudice Book Clutch Bags are handcrafted in Naples using centuries-old bookbinding techniques. Finished in gold leaf, lined with Italian silk moiré and fastened with a hidden magnetic closure, each one is unique, so no two bags are exactly alike. Choose from navy or burgundy, or discover more in our luxury collection. Fans of the novel will also find the Pride and Prejudice Book Cover Coin Purse, Quote Card Wallet and Glasses Case here, and more in our Pride and Prejudice gifts.

Jane Austen Book Club Bags and Purses

Our Jane Austen Book Club Multiway Grab Bag features her best-loved titles and the Jane Austen silhouette. Handmade from PETA-approved vegan artificial leather, it has a detachable strap so you can wear it crossbody or carry it by the top handle. The matching Book Club Zip Top Purse and Flap Over Purse come in tan or navy, making a lovely set.

Book Cover Coin Purses

Our coin purses are designed like the covers of Jane’s novels, making them a small but thoughtful treat for any reader. Choose from Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility and Emma, and find more inspired by each story in our Sense and Sensibility gifts and Emma gifts.
