Product Overview
The Stanley/Stella Mid Tote Bag is a refined choice for businesses seeking a professional, environmentally conscious solution for carrying essentials. Constructed from 100% recycled cotton canvas, this midweight bag moves away from the flimsy nature of standard promotional carriers, offering a more substantial and durable alternative. Its thoughtful design, including a side and bottom soufflé, ensures it can accommodate more than just a laptop, making it a versatile tool for the modern professional or a premium gift for clients who value sustainability.
Key Features
- Folded hem at the top edge provides a cleaner, more robust finish that prevents fraying over time.
- Bottom and side soufflé (gusset) construction allows the bag to expand, offering significantly more volume than a standard flat tote.
- Long, self-fabric handles feature reinforced cross-stitching, ensuring they can withstand the weight of heavier items without failing at the seams.
- An integrated inside pocket offers a dedicated space for smaller valuables, ensuring items like keys or phones are not lost at the bottom of the bag.
- Single-needle stitching at the top edge provides a subtle, high-quality finish that aligns with professional branding standards.
Design & Performance
This tote is engineered using recycled cotton canvas, which provides a textured, durable feel that stands up to daily use. The midweight fabric offers a balance between portability and strength, ensuring the bag maintains its shape even when loaded. The inclusion of the 'soufflé' design is particularly noteworthy; by adding depth to the side and bottom, the bag provides a more structured performance than a traditional two-dimensional tote.
Durability is at the heart of the design, with every stress point carefully considered. The handles are crafted from the same canvas as the body, and the cross-stitch reinforcement is a technical addition that prevents the handles from detaching under tension. Furthermore, being Peta-Approved Vegan and Oeko-Tex certified, the garment performance is matched by its ethical integrity.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The 100% recycled cotton canvas provides a stable and receptive surface for customisation. For those seeking a professional appearance, embroidery is an excellent choice for logos and staff names, offering a textured, high-end finish that complements the weight of the canvas.
If your requirements include large, vibrant graphics or bold branding for promotional events, our print processes are perfectly suited to this fabric.

Use Cases
This bag is ideally suited for corporate gifting, retail environments, or as a sustainable alternative for staff carrying documents and equipment between sites. Given its generous dimensions and reinforced construction, it is equally capable as an everyday work bag or a premium promotional item at trade shows and conferences.

Practical Advice

For those looking to create a complete professional pack, it pairs excellently with our organic and recycled clothing ranges.
Caring for your product
To maintain the integrity of the recycled cotton fibres and the quality of your custom branding, we recommend a machine wash at 30°C. Washing at higher temperatures may cause the natural canvas to shrink or warp.
Bleaching agents must be avoided at all costs, as they will degrade the fabric fibres and strip the colour from both the bag and your embroidered or printed logo.
When ironing, use a low temperature and avoid direct contact with any printed areas. Excessive heat can damage the bond of a print or cause embroidery threads to lose their sheen.
We advise against tumble drying, as the high heat and mechanical action can cause the bag to lose its structure. Similarly, do not dry clean this item, as the harsh chemicals can negatively affect the recycled cotton material.
