- Pros: most versatile color; three sizes; water-resistant; wipes clean

FAQ
What are jelly bags made of?
Jellova jelly bags are made from structured 3mm PVC — firm enough to hold their shape when empty, with enough flex to pack more in. The material is water-resistant and wipes clean.
How do I clean a jelly bag?
Wipe it clean with a damp cloth.
Are jelly bags water-resistant?
Yes — the structured 3mm PVC is water-resistant and wipes clean, which makes these bags well suited to the beach, pool, and summer.
Is a "Firkin" a real Birkin?
No. The Firkin is Jellova's playful, jelly take on the iconic Birkin-style tote silhouette — an original PVC product, not affiliated with or produced by Hermès.
Are jelly bags worth it?
If you want an affordable, water-resistant statement bag for summer and Y2K looks, yes — Jellova jelly bags start at $78. They are translucent and made from synthetic PVC, so they suit trend-forward, easy-care use rather than a classic leather investment piece.
