Driven by the desire to do good and look good, the mission of JP Monkey is to get everyone to reuse their shopping bags and reduce waste.

Joslyn Gray, CEO of JP Monkey, designed her first reusable fabric grocery bags over 15 years ago. As a commercial interior designer and sustainability advocate, Ms. Gray considered good looking and durable shopping bags a necessity.

With the growing awareness and concern for the environment, JP Monkey launched their first collection in 2007 for those who want gorgeous bags for shopping.

The bags are all limited edition, and are handcrafted in the USA.
