Product Overview
The Westford Mill WM413 Jute Midi Tote is a professional-grade carrying solution that offers a balance between traditional aesthetics and modern performance. This medium-weight bag is designed for businesses looking for a more substantial alternative to standard cotton shoppers. Its compact 30 x 30cm profile makes it highly versatile for corporate gifting or retail environments, providing a 14-litre capacity that accommodates a wide range of items without becoming cumbersome.
Key Features
- Cotton Carry Handles: The 40cm handles are crafted from soft cotton, ensuring that the bag remains comfortable to carry even when fully loaded, preventing the strap from digging into the palm or shoulder.
- Laminated Jute Fabric: The interior of the bag is laminated, which provides structural integrity and ensures the tote maintains its shape rather than collapsing when empty.
- 14-Litre Capacity: This volume offers ample space for promotional materials or retail purchases, making it a practical choice for various commercial applications.
- Amfori BSCI and REACH Accreditations: These certifications ensure that the product is manufactured under ethical conditions and complies with safety regulations regarding chemical substances.
Design & Performance
Constructed from laminated jute, this tote is engineered for durability. Jute is a naturally resilient fibre, and the addition of a lamination layer serves two purposes: it creates a wipe-clean interior surface and significantly increases the life cycle of the garment. Unlike unlined bags, this midi tote provides a stiff, professional appearance that stands up to repeated use in a commercial setting.
The cotton handles are securely stitched to the body of the bag, designed to manage the stress of a 14-litre load. This focus on construction ensures that the bag does not suffer from premature failure at the stress points, maintaining its professional appearance throughout its lifespan.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The WM413 offers a generous 23 x 22cm area specifically designated for customisation. This allows for prominent branding that is clearly visible when the bag is in use. We offer both printing and embroidery services to suit your specific branding requirements.
Embroidery is recommended for a sophisticated, high-end professional look. It is particularly effective for company logos or names, providing a textured finish that suggests quality and permanence. For larger, more complex graphics or bold promotional messaging, our high-definition printing provides sharp detail and vibrant colour reproduction. All customisation is performed by our expert in-house team in Telford, ensuring your brand is represented exactly as intended.
Use Cases
The Jute Midi Tote is an ideal choice for businesses in the retail and hospitality sectors. It serves as an excellent premium shopping bag for boutiques or as a reusable welcome pack container for hotel guests. Due to its sturdy construction and professional finish, it is also frequently used for corporate event giveaways, where a standard plastic or thin cotton bag would be insufficient.

Practical Advice
When selecting your customisation, consider the natural texture of the jute. For intricate logos, we recommend embroidery to ensure the design remains crisp and defined against the woven background. If you are using the bag for heavy items, the 40cm handle length is specifically sized for hand-carrying, offering better control than longer shoulder straps.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and appearance of your Jute Midi Tote, it must be sponge-cleaned only. Attempting to machine wash this product will likely cause the lamination to separate from the jute and lead to significant shrinkage, which will distort your custom branding and ruin the bag's shape.
Avoid using bleach or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can degrade the natural fibres of the jute and cause the colours in your printed or embroidered logo to fade. After sponge cleaning, allow the bag to air dry naturally. Do not tumble dry, as the high heat will damage the internal laminate coating and cause the handles to lose their shape.
