Why webbing is a bag maker's best friend
If you've ever tried to make a bag strap from folded fabric, you know the struggle. Webbing skips the wrestling match. Pre-finished, strong, and ready to sew, it's the kind of supply that turns a 2-hour project into a 1-hour project. Whether you're sewing a backpack, a tote, a crossbody, or anything that needs to hold up to real life — the right webbing changes everything.
Webbing types — find the right one for your project
We carry six distinct styles, each with its own personality:
- Cotton Webbing — soft, natural-feeling, great for tote straps, market bags, and projects with a relaxed vibe
- Seamless Nylon Webbing — smooth and strong with no visible weave lines. Ideal for a polished, modern look, perfect for backpacks, gym bags, dog leashes, and high-wear straps
- Woven Jacquard Webbing — patterned and woven (not printed), holds up to washing without fading. Stunning as straps OR decorative trim
- Printed Webbing — vibrant designs printed onto sturdy webbing — bring patterns into your project where fabric can't go
- 365 Essentials — our ultra comfortable, everyday, workhorse webbings
What you can make with webbing
Pretty much anything that needs a strap, handle or trim. Tote bag handles, crossbody straps, backpack straps, dog leashes and collars, dog harness, gym bag straps, fanny pack belts, market bag handles, lanyards, key fobs, camera straps, luggage straps, decorative trim accents on bags and pouches, and any project that needs structure plus style.
Why our webbing works
- Domestic-machine friendly — sews on home machines with the right needle
- Colour-coordinated — our webbings pair with our #5 Zipper Tape and fabric for fully matched bag builds
