Product Overview
The Westford Mill Cotton Pocket Jute Midi Tote (WM426) is a sophisticated choice for those requiring a functional bag that serves as a professional canvas for branding. Constructed with a substantial laminated jute body, this tote provides a sturdy, structured shape that remains upright when filled. The addition of a 100% cotton canvas front pocket provides a smooth, refined surface specifically designed to accommodate high-quality customisation, ensuring your business identity is presented with clarity and precision.
Key Features
- Laminated Jute Body: The internal lamination provides essential rigidity and a wipe-clean surface, ensuring the bag maintains its shape and protects its contents.
- 100% Cotton Canvas Front Pocket: This dedicated pocket offers a flat, weave-consistent area that is specifically engineered for superior print and embroidery adhesion.
- 40cm Cotton Carry Handles: The handles are crafted for comfort and durability, providing a reliable grip whether carried by hand or on the forearm.
- 14-Litre Capacity: This midi-sized volume offers ample space for daily essentials or promotional materials without becoming cumbersome or unwieldy.
Design & Performance
The WM426 is engineered to balance traditional aesthetics with modern durability. The medium-weight jute is chosen for its natural strength, further enhanced by the lamination process which prevents the fabric from sagging. Measuring 30 x 30 x 19cm, the midi proportions make it an ideal middle-ground between a standard handbag and a large shopping tote. The inclusion of the cotton canvas pocket is a thoughtful design element that allows for a higher level of detail in branding than standard jute would permit, while the Amfori BSCI and REACH accreditations ensure the product meets high ethical and chemical safety standards.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The cotton canvas front pocket is the focal point for customisation, offering a generous 25 x 20cm print area. For large-scale promotional events or retail designs, print provides a sharp, vibrant finish that stands out against the natural texture of the jute. Alternatively, the pocket supports an 18-tubular hoop for embroidery, which is the preferred choice for a premium, textured finish that conveys a sense of established professionalism. Our expert Telford-based team, who have been refining their craft since 1976, manages the entire customisation process in-house to ensure the highest standards of quality control.
Use Cases
This tote is ideally suited for retail environments as a premium reusable shopping bag, or for corporate events and trade shows as a high-quality giveaway. It is also an excellent choice for boutique hotels or local businesses looking to offer branded merchandise that customers will find genuinely useful in their daily lives.

Practical Advice
The midi size is particularly effective for carrying a tablet, notebooks, and a light lunch. When layering this into a corporate uniform strategy, consider coordinating the handle colour with your primary brand colours for a cohesive visual identity across all employee and promotional accessories.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and professional appearance of your midi tote, it is essential to follow the specific care requirements for laminated fabrics. This bag is sponge clean only; attempting to machine wash or submerge the bag in water will likely cause the lamination to peel and the jute to lose its rigidity.
Avoid the use of bleach or harsh chemical detergents, as these can degrade the natural fibres of the jute and damage the integrity of your custom print or embroidery. When cleaning the cotton pocket, use a damp cloth and a mild soap solution to preserve the vibrancy of your logo and the quality of the canvas weave.
