Product Description
Khaki 100% Cotton Webbing, 25 mm | Sold by the Metre
Stephanoise cotton webbing is a workshop staple for bag handles, cross-body 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 long straps without extra joins. This colourway is an understated Khaki—an olive-leaning neutral that works cleanly with canvas, denim, waxed cotton, and printed quilting cottons. Woven in a plain weave with a firm hand, it keeps edges tidy and helps straps lie flat. The width is 25 mm (1"), a widely used size that suits everyday totes and accessories.
Made from 100% cotton, the tape offers a natural, matte surface with a comfortable grip. Cotton handles predictably at the machine: it feeds evenly, presses to sharp folds, and shows topstitching clearly for a neat, practical finish. As with all cotton webbings, water resistance is limited compared with synthetics; for bags that regularly see wet weather, consider adding a water-repellent treatment or choosing a synthetic alternative. For daily use, the dense construction provides dependable abrasion resistance and a clean, structured appearance without bulk.
Hardware sizing is critical to function and finish. Match this tape with 25 mm internal-width fittings—D-rings, sliders, triglides, and swivel hooks—to maintain smooth movement and correct alignment at strap ends. The Khaki shade pairs well with antique brass for a classic look, or with nickel and matte black for a more contemporary finish. 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 helps avoid compressing the weave and keeps the stitch line even.
This is straightforward, durable webbing for makers who value careful construction and a restrained, fabric-first aesthetic.

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.
