Product Description
Black Green 100% Cotton Webbing, 25 mm | Sold by the Metre
Stephanoise cotton webbing is a dependable component for bag handles, shoulder and cross-body straps, fabric baskets, and organisers. It’s sold by the metre, and when you order more than one metre it is supplied in one continuous length, letting you cut long straps with minimal joins. This colourway, Black, delivers a clean, workshop-ready staple that pairs with almost any fabric and hardware finish. The tape features a plain weave and a firm hand, so it keeps its profile neat and resists twisting in use. The width is 25 mm (1"), the common standard for everyday bags and accessories.
Made from 100% cotton, this webbing has a natural, matte surface and a comfortable, non-slip grip. Cotton is straightforward to sew: it feeds predictably under the presser foot, presses into crisp folds for strap ends and keepers, and shows topstitching clearly for a tidy finish. Do note that cotton is less water-resistant than synthetics; for bags that face frequent wet weather, consider a water-repellent treatment or a synthetic webbing for those applications. For daily carry, the dense construction gives reliable abrasion resistance and a restrained look that sits well with both printed quilting cottons and heavier canvases.
Hardware fit is critical. Match the tape to 25 mm internal-width D-rings, sliders, triglides, and swivel hooks to ensure smooth movement and to avoid buckling at the attachment points. Black is versatile with nickel, antique brass, gunmetal, or matte black fittings. Ends cut cleanly with a rotary cutter; finish by turning under and topstitching, enclosing in a fabric tab, or securing with a narrow zigzag at high-wear areas. A slightly longer stitch length helps prevent compressing the weave and keeps the seam line even.
This is practical webbing for makers who value careful construction, dependable handling, and an unobtrusive finish that lets the fabric lead.

Maker’s notes
-
Cut cleanly with a fresh rotary blade; seal ends by turning under and topstitching or by binding with a fabric tab.
-
Stitch comfortably with a walking foot or standard foot plus a longer stitch (3–3.5 mm) to avoid compression lines.
-
Press to shape: cotton webbing accepts a warm press; use steam to flatten folded ends before topstitching.
-
Moisture considerations: cotton absorbs water; for outdoor bags, consider a water-repellent finish or liner.
-
Hardware fit: measure internal hardware widths—25 mm components give the best alignment and movement.
