Product Description
Taupe 100% Cotton Webbing, 25 mm | Sold by the Metre
Stephanoise cotton webbing is a practical choice for bag handles, cross-body straps, fabric baskets, and organisers. It’s sold by the metre, and when you order more than one, we supply it in one continuous length so you can cut long straps without unnecessary joins. This colourway, Taupe, offers a calm neutral that pairs well with prints, linens, canvases, and waxed cottons. The tape has a plain weave and a firm hand, giving clean edges and a strap that sits flat without twisting. At 25 mm (1") wide, it’s a versatile size for everyday totes, project bags, and home décor carry handles.
Woven from 100% cotton, the webbing has a natural, matte look and a comfortable grip. Cotton is straightforward to handle at the machine: it feeds reliably, presses into tidy folds, and topstitches crisply for a professional finish. As with all cotton, it is less water-resistant than synthetic webbings; if you anticipate frequent rain or heavy wear outdoors, consider a protective spray or choose a synthetic for those projects. For indoor use and daily carry, the dense construction provides dependable abrasion resistance and neat structure without bulk.
For hardware, accuracy matters. Match the tape to 25 mm internal-width fittings—D-rings, sliders, triglides, and swivel hooks—to maintain smooth movement and prevent buckling at the strap ends. The Taupe shade sits quietly behind statement prints or contrasts gently with darker solids, making it a useful staple across a range of colour palettes.
Sewing is uncomplicated. Use a standard or walking foot and a slightly longer stitch to avoid compressing the weave. Ends can be finished by turning under and topstitching, by applying a narrow zigzag, or by enclosing in a fabric tab at stress points. Reinforce attachment areas with a box-and-cross or bar-tack where appropriate.

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.
