Product Description
Grey Black 100% Cotton Webbing, 25 mm | Sold by the Metre
Stephanoise cotton webbing is a dependable component for bag handles, adjustable straps, fabric baskets, and organisers. It’s sold by the metre, and when you order more than one metre we supply it in one continuous length so you can cut longer straps with fewer joins. This colourway, Grey Black, is a deep charcoal that pairs well with modern prints and heavier canvases. The tape is woven in a plain weave with a firm hand, giving clean edges and a strap that sits flat. At 25 mm (1") wide, it’s a widely used size for everyday totes and cross-body bags.
Made from 100% cotton, the webbing has a natural, matte surface with a comfortable grip. Cotton is straightforward to work with: it feeds evenly through the machine, presses into crisp folds for strap ends and keepers, and shows topstitching clearly. Compared with synthetics, cotton is less water-resistant; if your bag will see regular wet weather, consider adding a water-repellent treatment or choosing a synthetic webbing for those projects. For daily carry, the dense construction provides stable edges, resists twisting, and lends a neat, structured finish without bulk.
Hardware sizing is critical to both function and appearance. Match this tape with 25 mm internal-width D-rings, sliders, triglides, and swivel hooks to maintain smooth movement and prevent buckling at attachment points. Grey Black works neatly with nickel, gunmetal or matte black fittings for a clean, contemporary look. Ends cut cleanly; secure by turning under and topstitching, enclosing in a fabric tab, or applying a narrow zigzag at high-wear points. A slightly longer stitch length keeps the surface from compressing and maintains an even line.
This is practical webbing for makers who prefer tidy construction, durable handling, and an understated colour that complements rather than competes with the fabric.

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.
