Product Description
Royal Blue 100% Cotton Webbing, 25 mm | Sold by the Metre
Stephanoise 100% Cotton Webbing provides a dependable, natural-fibre option for handmade bag handles, cross-body straps, fabric baskets, and structured organisers. This firm-feel, plain-weave cotton tape offers stability without bulk, making it an excellent choice for sewists who want a clean, well-finished result that stitches neatly and behaves predictably under the needle. Sold by the metre, and supplied in one continuous length when multiple units are ordered, it integrates seamlessly into both everyday projects and more refined makes.
At 25 mm wide (approximately 1"), this webbing suits a wide variety of bag hardware, from compact handbags through to lightweight cross-body designs. The firm hand gives shape to straps while remaining comfortable to hold, and the cotton composition delivers a tactile, matte finish that pairs well with natural fibres such as linen, canvas, and quilting cotton. Cotton webbing is easy to sew, presses reliably, and offers a more organic look than synthetic alternatives. It is, however, naturally less water-resistant, so its suitability is strongest in indoor-use items or bags not intended for heavy weather.
The Royal Blue shade adds a bold, saturated colour accent while maintaining the understated character of cotton webbing. Its plain weave ensures consistent tension during sewing, with edges that remain stable when turned or topstitched. For makers who favour a minimal, durable finish with predictable behaviour, this width and fibre combination is a versatile staple to keep on hand.
This 25 mm webbing is fully compatible with bag hardware — including D-rings, sliders, triglides, and swivel hooks — provided the hardware matches the webbing width. Because it is not load-rated, it should never be used for safety applications, climbing equipment, or any situation requiring certified strength. For crafting and general sewing, however, this cotton option gives a reliably structured, high-quality result.

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.
