The short answer: La Firkin is an online handbag store (lafirkin.com) whose signature model is the Jelly Firkin, a translucent TPU bag available in twelve colours. When people search for a "firkin bag", they usually mean one of our bags: jelly, croc, leather or PU.
Where does the word "firkin" come from?
In old English, a firkin is a small cask: a unit of capacity of about 41 litres (9 imperial gallons), used notably for beer. In bags, "La Firkin" is the name of our brand, not a generic type of bag.
