Product Description
Medium Grey 100% Cotton Webbing, 25 mm | Sold by the Metre
Stephanoise cotton webbing for bag handles, adjustable straps, fabric baskets, and organisers. Sold by the metre, and when you order more than one, it’s supplied in one continuous length to minimise joins on long runs. This understated Medium Grey is a balanced neutral that partners cleanly with modern prints, denim, canvas, and waxed cottons. The tape is a plain weave with a firm hand, so it keeps a tidy profile without bulk. Width is 25 mm (1"), the everyday standard for totes and cross-body straps.
Made from 100% cotton, this webbing has a natural, matte finish and a comfortable grip. Cotton is cooperative at the machine: it feeds evenly, presses to crisp folds for strap ends and keepers, and shows topstitching clearly for a neat, professional look. As with all cotton webbings, water resistance is lower than synthetics; if your bag will meet regular rain, add a water-repellent treatment or choose a synthetic alternative for those projects. For day-to-day use, the dense construction resists twisting, keeps edges stable, and lends structure to handles and basket rims.
For fittings, match widths precisely. Pair this tape with 25 mm internal-width D-rings, sliders, triglides, and swivel hooks to maintain smooth movement and prevent buckling. Medium Grey sits well with nickel or gunmetal hardware for a contemporary finish, or antique brass for a quieter, utilitarian look. Ends cut cleanly; finish by turning under and topstitching, enclosing in a fabric tab, or securing with a narrow zigzag where extra durability is required.
This is practical, workmanlike webbing for makers who value sound construction and a refined, fabric-first appearance.

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.
