Product Description
Fuchsia 100% Cotton Webbing, 25 mm | Sold by the Metre
Stephanoise cotton webbing is a sound choice for making bag handles, adjustable and cross-body straps, fabric baskets, and organisers. It’s sold by the metre, and when you order more than one, we supply it in one continuous length so you can cut longer runs without unnecessary joins. This colourway, Fuchsia, provides a confident pink accent while the structure remains calm and workmanlike. The tape uses a plain weave with a firm hand that holds its shape neatly. At 25 mm (1") wide, it’s the standard fit for many bag patterns and hardware sets.
Woven from 100% cotton, the webbing has a natural, matte surface with a comfortable grip that doesn’t slip on the shoulder. Cotton behaves predictably at the machine: it feeds evenly, presses into crisp folds for strap ends and keepers, and takes topstitching cleanly for a tidy, professional finish. As a natural fibre it is less water-resistant than synthetics; for bags that face frequent rain, consider adding a water-repellent treatment or switching to a synthetic webbing for those projects. For everyday carry, the dense construction keeps edges stable, resists twisting, and provides dependable abrasion resistance without bulk.
Hardware sizing should match the tape width for smooth movement and clean alignment. Pair this webbing with 25 mm internal-width D-rings, sliders, triglides, and swivel hooks. Fuchsia works well with nickel for a bright look, gunmetal for contrast, or antique brass to soften the palette. Ends cut squarely with a rotary blade; finish by turning under and topstitching, enclosing in a small fabric tab, or securing with a narrow zigzag at high-wear points. A slightly longer stitch length avoids compressing the weave and keeps the seam line even.
Built for practical making, this is straightforward, durable webbing that supports careful construction while adding a clear note of colour.

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.
