Product Overview
The Stanley/Stella Hip Bag (STAU891) is a masterclass in combining sustainable materials with practical utility. This isn't just a simple accessory; it's a well-engineered piece of equipment designed for professionals who need hands-free access to essentials without sacrificing style or environmental ethics. Crafted from a robust recycled canvas fabric and fully lined with organic cotton, it offers a sophisticated, durable alternative to standard synthetic bags. Its versatility allows it to be worn traditionally around the waist or across the shoulder for a more contemporary professional appearance.
Key Features
- Nylon Coil Reversed Zip: This design choice provides a cleaner, more streamlined look while helping to protect the zip mechanism from dust and grit, ensuring long-term functionality.
- Adjustable Grosgrain Strap: The high-quality strap allows for total flexibility, enabling the wearer to find a secure and comfortable fit regardless of how they choose to wear it.
- Functional Front Pocket: Strategically placed for quick retrieval of tools, phones, or identification, ensuring you stay efficient throughout the working day.
- Metal Eyelets: These provide essential structural reinforcement at stress points, helping the bag maintain its integrity even when used daily in demanding environments.
Design & Performance
The performance of this bag is rooted in its substantial fabric composition. The shell is constructed from a heavyweight blend of recycled cotton and recycled polyester, providing a sturdy, tactile feel that is built to last. Inside, the 100% organic cotton lining offers a soft layer of protection for your belongings. This combination of materials ensures the bag is resilient enough for the workplace while remaining lightweight and easy to carry. Furthermore, its various certifications, including Fair Wear Foundation and Peta-Approved Vegan status, provide peace of mind that your workwear meets the highest ethical and environmental standards.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This hip bag serves as an excellent canvas for your company branding. For a superior, professional finish, we highly recommend embroidery. Our in-house team in Telford uses precision technology to apply your logos or names, creating a durable and high-quality result that withstands the rigours of daily wear. If you require a larger, more prominent design for event staff or promotions, our high-definition printing services are perfectly suited to the canvas fabric. Having been experts in garment decoration since 1976, we ensure every piece of branding is applied with technical excellence.
Use Cases
This bag is an essential tool for event organisers, retail staff, and site supervisors who need to carry small items like scanners, radios, or stationery while remaining mobile. It is also an excellent choice for teams working in conscious industries where organic and recycled credentials are a priority.

Practical Advice
As this bag is a one-size-fits-all item, we recommend using the adjustable grosgrain strap to ensure it sits snugly against the body. This prevents the bag from swinging or catching on equipment while you work. It can be layered over a fleece or tucked under a heavier jacket for added security in crowded environments.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity of the canvas and ensure your custom branding remains vibrant, we recommend a domestic wash at 30°C. Washing at this lower temperature prevents the recycled fibres from breaking down prematurely and helps avoid shrinkage.
Under no circumstances should this bag be tumble dried. Excessive heat can damage the nylon zips and may cause printed logos to peel or crack. We suggest allowing the bag to air dry naturally to preserve its shape.
Should you need to iron the bag, use a low heat setting of 110°C and ensure you do not iron directly over any embroidered or printed areas, as this will cause permanent damage to the decoration. Finally, do not use bleach, as it will degrade the organic cotton lining and discolour the recycled canvas shell.
