Product Description
Red Green 100% Cotton Webbing, 25 mm | Sold by the Metre
Stephanoise cotton webbing is built for bag handles, cross-body straps, fabric baskets, and organisers. It’s sold by the metre, and when you order multiples we supply them in one continuous length so long runs can be cut without unnecessary joins. This colourway is a clear Red with a plain weave and a firm hand that holds its profile neatly. At 25 mm (1") wide, it’s the everyday standard for totes, project bags and home décor carry points.
Woven from 100% cotton, the tape has a natural, matte finish and a comfortable grip. Cotton remains a favourite for bag making because it is easy to stitch and press: it feeds predictably under the presser foot, folds crisply for strap ends and keepers, and shows topstitching cleanly for a tidy result. Do note that cotton is less water-resistant than synthetic webbings. For bags likely to see regular rain, consider applying a water-repellent finish or choosing a synthetic alternative for those projects. For day-to-day use, the dense construction keeps edges stable, resists twisting, and gives a restrained, fabric-first look.
Hardware sizing determines the final fit and movement. Match this tape with 25 mm internal-width D-rings, sliders, triglides, and swivel hooks to avoid drag or buckling at attachment points. The Red shade pairs cleanly with nickel for a classic finish, gunmetal for contrast, or antique brass for a warmer tone. Ends cut squarely with a rotary blade; finish by turning under and topstitching, enclosing in a fabric tab, or securing with a narrow zigzag at high-wear areas. A slightly longer stitch length prevents the weave from compressing and keeps the stitch line even.
This is practical, workmanlike webbing for makers who prefer tidy construction and dependable handling.

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.
