Product Description
Ivory 100% Cotton Webbing, 25 mm | Sold by the Metre
Stephanoise cotton webbing is a straightforward, durable choice for bag handles, adjustable straps, fabric baskets, and organisers. It’s sold by the metre, and when you order more than one, we supply it as one continuous length to reduce joins on long straps. This colourway, Ivory, is a soft neutral that partners well with patterned quilting cottons, canvas and linen blends. The tape is woven in a plain weave with a firm hand, so it holds its profile neatly without bulk. The width is 25 mm (1"), the common standard for everyday totes and cross-body straps.
Composed of 100% cotton, the webbing has a natural, matte surface with a comfortable grip. Cotton is cooperative at the machine: it feeds evenly, presses to sharp folds for clean strap ends and keepers, and shows topstitching crisply. Compared with synthetics, cotton is less water-resistant, so for bags likely to see wet weather consider adding a water-repellent finish or selecting a synthetic webbing for those projects. For general use, the dense construction offers good abrasion resistance and an understated finish that complements rather than competes with your fabric.
Choose hardware that matches the width exactly for a professional result. Pair this tape with 25 mm internal-width D-rings, sliders, triglides and swivel hooks to maintain smooth movement and prevent buckling at the strap ends. Ivory sits comfortably with nickel, antique brass or matte black fittings, adapting to classic or contemporary looks.
Ends cut cleanly with a rotary blade. Finish by turning under and topstitching, enclosing in a fabric tab, or securing with a narrow zigzag where extra durability is needed. A slightly longer stitch length helps avoid compressing the weave and keeps the stitch line even.

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.
