About Jane Hopkinson

After nearly three decades Jane Hopkinson bags a family run business knows everything about creating that vital combination of function and style. From supersoft Italian leathers in rich, subtle colours to quirky sculptural forms in bold textures, there are designs to fire the imagination and delight the senses in equal measure.

After working as a primary school art teacher via art therapy Jane retrained in theatre design making props for Glyndebourne Opera and ENO before designing sets and costumes at the Young Vic. Taking time out to have children Jane created her first collection in 1980 based on her passion for unusual shaped forms which lead to her first commission with the Pineapple Dance Studio, Covent Garden and later designs for boutiques in Japan and America. With the business developing Jane's husband Jerry, himself a sculptor and artist joined the business to collaborate their ideas and put Jane Hopkinson bags on the map. As a further development their daughter Leah joined bringing her knowledge and experience of the fashion world working with high-end designers Lulu Guinness and running her own fashion label to make Jane Hopkinson bags a family enterprise.
