Product Overview
The Westford Mill WM406 Jute Compact Tote is a reliable and robust solution for businesses seeking a practical, reusable bag with a natural aesthetic. Constructed from 100% jute, this tote offers a sturdy alternative to plastic, making it an excellent choice for retail environments, promotional events, or corporate gifting. Its compact dimensions of 30 x 30 x 12cm provide a convenient 10-litre capacity, perfect for carrying essentials without the bulk of a full-sized shopper.
Key Features
- 100% Jute Construction: This natural fibre provides a resilient and textured finish, ensuring the bag maintains its shape and stands up to daily use.
- Cotton Carry Handles: The soft cotton handles provide a comfortable grip, reducing strain on the hands when the bag is fully loaded.
- 60cm Handle Length: This versatile length allows the bag to be carried comfortably by hand or worn over the shoulder, depending on your preference.
- 10-Litre Capacity: Offers sufficient space for daily essentials or small purchases, making it a practical choice for light shopping or event materials.
- Amfori BSCI and REACH Accredited: These certifications ensure that the product is manufactured under fair working conditions and complies with safety and environmental regulations.
Design & Performance
Engineered for durability, the WM406 is crafted from a lightweight but substantial jute fabric. Jute is well-regarded for its tensile strength, meaning this bag is less likely to tear or stretch under the weight of its contents compared to lighter cotton alternatives. The 12cm gusset provides depth, allowing the bag to sit upright and accommodate more voluminous items. The contrasting cotton handles are securely stitched to ensure they remain attached even when the bag is used frequently.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Westford Mill Jute Compact Tote is a versatile canvas for your branding. With a generous print area of 22 x 20cm, it is particularly well-suited for bold, high-impact screen printing or heat transfer designs. This is an effective way to ensure your logo is visible from a distance during trade shows or on the high street.
For a more textured and premium appearance, this tote also accommodates embroidery. Embroidery is an excellent choice for smaller, more intricate logos, providing a superior finish that suggests quality and longevity. All customisation is carried out at our Telford-based facility, where our expert team—with experience dating back to 1976—ensures your branding is applied with precision.

It also serves as an effective promotional tool for exhibitions, where its sturdy nature makes it perfect for holding brochures and giveaway items. Its unisex design and neutral tone ensure it is appropriate for any professional setting.

Practical Advice
While the 10-litre capacity is generous for a compact bag, we recommend avoiding overloading the tote with heavy, sharp-edged items that could stress the natural fibres. Given its size, it is an excellent choice for layering inside a larger bag as a spare or using as a dedicated lunch carrier for the office.
Caring for your product
To ensure your tote remains in top condition and your custom branding stays vibrant, it is important to follow the correct maintenance procedures. Maintaining the natural integrity of jute requires a gentle touch.
This bag is sponge clean only. You should avoid machine washing or submerging the bag in water, as natural jute can shrink or lose its structural rigidity when saturated. Using a damp cloth to spot clean any marks will help preserve the fabric's shape and the clarity of your printed or embroidered logo.
Do not use bleach or harsh chemicals, as these can break down the natural fibres and cause discolouration. Allow the bag to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent the jute from becoming brittle.
