Design-led. Colour-obsessed. Slightly unpredictable.
A LITTLE BIT OF JENKO
ABOUT
Jenko is a Bristol-based textile design studio creating bags and accessories inspired by the colours, textures and shapes found in the world around us.
Landscape interpreted through colour, texture & form, then given a little Jenko twist.
Made in small runs, with carefully chosen fabrics, plenty of colour and absolutely no interest in being beige.

Autumn Light
Jenko is currently developing its first collection, Autumn Light — a small series of original Horizon bags inspired by the changing colours, textures and atmosphere of the season.
Each colourway is thoughtfully designed and made in small numbers, bringing together rich autumnal tones, contrasting details and carefully considered fabrics. The first pieces will be arriving soon, with more to follow as the collection takes shape.
NEW COLLECTION COMING SOON

My Story
Jenko didn’t really start with Jenko.
I’ve been making things with fabric for more than 12 years, starting out with Jingle Jangle Design and later working under my own name, Kerry Jeakins Design. Along the way I’ve worked across textiles, interiors, styling, photography and furniture upcycling — but whatever I was making, I always came back to the same things: colour, texture, materials and the joy of turning an idea into something tangible.
Over the years, I’ve collected rather a lot of fabric, ideas and half-finished possibilities. Some of them have even made it all the way to the end.
Jenko is the next chapter, a little more focused, but still very much made by me.
I’m inspired by the colours, textures and shapes I find in the world around me, particularly in the landscapes and places close to home. I like taking those impressions and interpreting them through fabric, colour and form to create things that are useful, tactile and made to be enjoyed.
Jenko is made in Bristol, in small quantities, with a preference for beautiful materials that deserve to be used rather than forgotten.
It’s design with a little personality, made with a lot of care.
A little bit of Jenko.
