Product Overview
The Westford Mill Nautical barrel bag is a sophisticated choice for those seeking a blend of classic maritime aesthetics and modern utility. Crafted from 100% brushed cotton canvas, this bag offers a substantial feel and a soft-to-the-touch finish that belies its inherent durability. The horizontal stripe design is a timeless staple of leisurewear, ensuring that your branding is presented on a canvas that remains stylish season after season.

- Secure Zippered Closure: The robust zip ensures that contents remain secure whether the bag is in transit or stored in a locker.
- Comfortable Webbing Carry Handles: These handles are engineered to provide a reliable grip and distribute weight evenly, making the bag comfortable to carry even when full.
- Generous 20-Litre Capacity: Provides ample space for leisure gear, travel essentials, or promotional materials without becoming cumbersome.
Design & Performance
The construction of this barrel bag prioritises longevity. The heavyweight brushed cotton canvas is a dense, hard-wearing fabric that resists the typical wear and tear associated with travel and daily use. Measuring 50 x 25 x 25cm, the bag’s cylindrical shape is naturally efficient for packing, while the fabric's substantial weight ensures it holds its form even when partially empty.
The webbing handles are securely stitched into the body of the bag, providing the structural integrity needed to carry various loads safely. The internal space is unobstructed, allowing for maximum versatility in how the 20-litre volume is utilised.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This nautical bag is an excellent candidate for both print and embroidery, and our Telford-based team is well-versed in applying complex designs to this specific canvas. Embroidery is particularly effective on this fabric, offering a professional, three-dimensional finish that is ideal for company logos or staff names. We can accommodate a 12-tubular hoop on the front and an 18-tubular hoop on the ends.
For those requiring larger, high-impact branding, print is a superb alternative. It allows for bold, sharp designs that contrast beautifully against the nautical stripes. The front print area measures 13 x 12cm, while the circular ends provide a generous 15 x 15cm space for maximum visibility.
Use Cases
The versatile nature of this bag makes it suitable for a wide range of professional and leisure environments. It is a popular choice for corporate gifting, yachting clubs, hospitality staff travel kits, and as a premium alternative to standard promotional tote bags. Its unisex design ensures it is appropriate for all adult team members.

Practical Advice
Given the 20-litre capacity, this bag is ideally sized as a carry-on for travel or as a dedicated gym bag. If you are planning to use it for heavy gear, we recommend ensuring the weight is distributed centrally to take full advantage of the reinforced webbing handles.
Caring for your product
To maintain the appearance and structural integrity of the heavyweight cotton canvas, this product should be sponged cleaned only. Attempting to machine wash this bag may damage the internal structure of the canvas and could cause the printed stripes or your custom branding to deteriorate prematurely.
Avoid the use of bleach or harsh chemical cleaners, as these will strip the natural fibres of their colour and weaken the fabric. If the bag becomes damp, allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent the cotton from shrinking or losing its shape.
