About This Bag
Editor’s Styling Note
“JW PEI is the bag label that got photographed on Hailey Bieber and Emily Ratajkowski at a price that leaves room for the dress. The Denim on the Rowan Ruched Drawstring Chain Bucket Bag in Black Blue Denim sits well in Black Blue Denim, and the hardware is the only shine. I would carry this bag with clean tailoring and a flat shoe, and let the shape be the point. See how it sits beside the rest of the house in Shoulder and Crossbody Bags.”

About JW PEI
JW PEI is a Los Angeles fashion label founded in 2018 by Yang Pei and Stephanie Li, a husband and wife who set out to make a vegan bag brand that modern women could afford without giving up on design. Every bag is made in animal-free materials, vegan leather above all, with faux suede, canvas, denim, satin and faux straw alongside, and part of the brand’s fabric is certified as made from recycled plastic bottles. The house became known through the Gabbi, a ruched vegan-leather hobo photographed on Irina Shayk, Emily Ratajkowski, Hailey Bieber, Gigi Hadid and Megan Fox soon after its launch, and the Joy, the Eva, the Lily, the Abacus, the Hana and the Lucia lines followed it. The catalogue now runs to well over a thousand colourways across totes, top-handle bags, shoulder and crossbody styles, bucket bags, minis and evening clutches, including a line of novelty animal-shaped clutches. JW PEI sells through its own site, a pop-up on Crosby Street in New York’s SoHo opened in 2025, and stockists including Simons in Canada, Galeries Lafayette and BHV in France and Club 21 in Singapore. The brand added ready-to-wear to its site in 2024, and Luxury Handbags carries both the bags and the clothing.
How JW PEI Compares
JW PEI bags rely on a sculptural shape and a small metal mark rather than a logo, which puts the house alongside Polène and By Far. Polène works in Spanish calf leather at roughly three times the price, By Far in leather and croc-embossed finishes with a nineties shoulder-bag line, and Cult Gaia in sculptural and novelty shapes for the evening. JW PEI is the one built entirely on vegan materials, and it is the most accessibly priced of the four. Shoppers choosing the Rowan Ruched Drawstring Chain Bucket Bag in Black Blue Denim tend to want a bag with a strong shape that does not shout.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the JW PEI Rowan Ruched Drawstring Chain Bucket Bag in Black Blue Denim authentic?
Yes. Every JW PEI bag sold by Luxury Handbags is 100% authentic and authenticity-verified before dispatch, including the Rowan Ruched Drawstring Chain Bucket Bag in Black Blue Denim.
What is the JW PEI Rowan Ruched Drawstring Chain Bucket Bag in Black Blue Denim made of?
The Rowan Ruched Drawstring Chain Bucket Bag in Black Blue Denim is made from Denim with a Polyester lining, and it has gold hardware; fixed, adjustable strap; 1 card slot inside. Dimensions: 24.5 x 16 x 10 cm (width x height x depth); strap drop 33 to 55.5 cm. Capacity: fits an iPhone 17 Pro Max. No JW PEI bag uses animal leather.
Is JW PEI vegan leather good quality?
JW PEI’s vegan leather is a polyurethane-based material with a smooth, pebbled, croc-embossed and faux-suede finish depending on the style. It is lighter than calf leather, wipes clean, and holds a sculptural shape well, which is why the brand can cut styles like the Gabbi and the Abacus. It does not develop a patina the way leather does, and the darker faux suedes can transfer colour, so the care guide on this page is worth following.
Is JW PEI a luxury brand?
JW PEI sits in accessible luxury. It is an independent Los Angeles label whose bags are photographed on the same people as the designer houses, and it sells through department stores like Simons and Galeries Lafayette. At the brand’s own store the bags run from about USD 39 for the smallest pieces to USD 329 for the largest totes, with most between USD 100 and USD 200. Luxury Handbags prices in US dollars and includes authentication and international express shipping. Read the full answer from our editor.
Who founded JW PEI and where is it based?
JW PEI was founded in Los Angeles in 2018 by Yang Pei and Stephanie Li, a husband and wife. The brand is still run from Los Angeles, opened a pop-up store at 42 Crosby Street in SoHo, New York, in 2025, and ships from a warehouse in Ontario, California. Its products are described by the brand as imported, and it does not publish a factory country for individual styles.
Will the JW PEI Rowan Ruched Drawstring Chain Bucket Bag in Black Blue Denim fit my phone?
The Rowan Ruched Drawstring Chain Bucket Bag in Black Blue Denim fits an iPhone 17 Pro Max. Its body measures 24.5 x 16 x 10 cm (width x height x depth); strap drop 33 to 55.5 cm, and it carries gold hardware; fixed, adjustable strap; 1 card slot inside. JW PEI states the largest phone each bag takes on the product page, so the line above is the brand’s own figure rather than an estimate.
How do I clean a JW PEI vegan leather bag?
Spot clean with a damp cloth. Denim washes vary slightly between batches, so keep the bag away from pale clothing while it is new, and store it in the dust bag. Vegan leather does not need conditioning the way calf leather does. A soft dry cloth handles dust, a barely damp one handles marks, and the bag should dry away from heat. Keep the darker faux suedes away from pale clothing, and store every bag in its dust bag with the shape supported.
Is JW PEI sustainable?
JW PEI’s bags are entirely vegan: no animal leather, fur, silk and wool in any bag. Part of its fabric is certified as made from recycled plastic bottles, and in 2022 co-founder Stephanie Li said the brand was working towards more than 50% recycled material in future collections. Its vegan leather is polyurethane-based, so it is a plastic-derived material rather than a plant one, and the brand describes its products as imported. Those are the facts as the brand states them; Luxury Handbags does not audit its supply chain.
Does Luxury Handbags ship the JW PEI Rowan Ruched Drawstring Chain Bucket Bag in Black Blue Denim internationally?
Yes. Luxury Handbags ships JW PEI worldwide with express options through DHL Express and FedEx International Priority. Most regions ship Delivered Duty Unpaid, which makes the customer the importer of record for local duties and taxes. The full terms are in the logistics and returns protocol.
