“Uncommon X The Jacksons”
Another fabulous fortnight of tennis at the Wimbledon Championships 2024 has come to an end. Here at Uncommon, this means the culmination of the infamous Wimbledon Village Windows Competition.
This year we joined forces with The Jackson’s to create our ‘New Balls Please’ bag. Working with such an inspiring brand has been an honour for us.
The Jackson’s, a mindful fashion brand, take a responsible approach to their impact on the planet and society. For over 12 years, the team has worked to promote employment in Bangladesh where production is centred, as well as using materials with a reduced environmental effect. With their help, a total of 1,500 artisans have work all year round, with a further 4,000 employed in the wider production of their materials. This partnership ensures employees are paid directly to promote freedom in their lives and futures. As for the materials used, The Jackson’s use jute—a rain-fed plant that requires no artificial energy for growth—in the majority of their products, including our very own ‘New Balls Please.’
Their use of virtually carbon-free materials and their contribution to improving employment rates in Bangladesh ground The Jackson’s as leaders in mindful fashion.
For us, the collaboration formed our very own Wimbledon Championships 2024 window display. Our bags became a staple accessory for the Wimbledon weeks, even featuring on the arm of Morgan Riddle during her visit to the Championships. A sell-out success!
Another great year, bring on Wimbledon 2025!
