Product Overview
The Stanley/Stella Woven Gym Bag (STAU763) is a sophisticated evolution of the standard drawstring bag, designed for those who require durability alongside sustainable credentials. Crafted from a substantial heavyweight canvas blend of 80% recycled cotton and 20% recycled polyester, this bag offers a robust alternative to lightweight promotional items. It features a clean, professional finish with reinforced structural points, making it a reliable choice for both daily utility and high-impact brand representation.
Key Features
Heavy drawcord straps: These substantial straps provide increased comfort on the shoulders and ensure the bag remains securely closed, unlike thinner cords which can cut into the skin.
Reinforcing bar tacks and triangles: Strategic reinforcement at the tunnel openings and bottom corners prevents the fabric from tearing under load, extending the lifespan of the garment.
Gun metal hardware: The inclusion of gun metal eyelets and drawcord tipping provides a refined aesthetic and protects the cord ends from fraying.
Double-folded top edge: This construction method creates a clean finish and adds structural strength to the opening of the bag.
Design & Performance
The performance of this bag is rooted in its material composition. The heavyweight canvas fabric provides a stable and sturdy feel, ensuring that the bag maintains its shape even when carrying heavier items. The blend of recycled cotton and polyester creates a texture that is both tactile and resilient, suitable for the rigours of a work or gym environment.
Measuring 37 x 43cm, the bag provides ample space for essentials without being cumbersome. The unisex design and neutral canvas finish make it a versatile accessory that appeals to a wide demographic. Every detail, from the gun metal eyelets to the reinforced corner triangles, has been engineered to offer a superior finish compared to standard woven bags.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This gym bag is an excellent candidate for both print and embroidery, thanks to the stable nature of its canvas weave. The fabric provides a flat, consistent surface that allows for high-detail customisation.
Embroidery is recommended for creating a sophisticated and professional appearance, particularly for company logos or individual names. The thickness of the canvas supports high-density stitching without puckering, resulting in a permanent and high-quality finish. Alternatively, print is ideal for larger, bold designs or promotional graphics. The smooth surface of the recycled cotton blend ensures that inks adhere well and colours remain vibrant. Our in-house team in Telford has been perfecting these techniques since 1976, ensuring every bag meets our expert standards.
Use Cases
This woven bag is perfectly suited for leisure and fitness businesses, educational institutions, or as a premium corporate gift. Its sustainable construction makes it particularly appropriate for organisations with a strong focus on environmental responsibility. It is equally at home in a professional setting as it is in a retail environment as a high-end reusable shopping bag.

Practical Advice
With its generous dimensions, this bag is capable of carrying a significant volume of items. When selecting your customisation, we recommend placing logos in the upper two-thirds of the bag to ensure they remain clearly visible even when the drawcord is pulled tight and the fabric gathers at the top.
Caring for your product
To maintain the integrity of the recycled canvas and the quality of your custom branding, we recommend a gentle wash at 30°C. Washing at lower temperatures helps to prevent the natural cotton fibres from shrinking and ensures the longevity of the printed or embroidered elements.
Bleaching should be avoided entirely, as the harsh chemicals will degrade the recycled fibres and cause discolouration to both the fabric and your logo. For maintenance of the bag's appearance, a cool iron at 110°C may be used, though you must avoid ironing directly over any printed areas to prevent damage to the design.
This product should not be tumble dried or dry cleaned. The high heat of a tumble dryer can cause the canvas to stiffen and shrink, while dry cleaning solvents may react negatively with the recycled materials and metal hardware, potentially compromising the bag's structural integrity.
