Summer Special

We’re back with a specific jam today, for the second issue of THE JAM, Strawberry Days, in celebration of all the jam being scoffed at Wimbledon this past fortnight, which jam connoisseurs might recognise.

We’ll be telling you stories about the artists behind the designs on our labels, as well as giving you a glimpse of life behind the scenes in our Factory, which like Andy Warhol’s even has its own dachshund.
