Product Overview
The Westford Mill Recycled Cotton Maxi Tote (WM925) represents a significant step forward for businesses looking to align their brand with sustainable practices without compromising on utility. This supersize tote is expertly crafted from 100% pre-consumer recycled cotton, offering a soft-touch feel and a substantial 18-litre capacity. It is designed to be a versatile workhorse, whether used as a high-end promotional item, a retail accessory, or a practical carryall for staff equipment.
Key Features
- 100% Pre-consumer Recycled Cotton: This material choice reduces textile waste by repurposing cotton before it reaches the consumer, providing a more environmentally responsible alternative to virgin fabrics.
- GRS-Certified Material: Being 100% GRS-certified ensures the recycled content is tracked through the supply chain, giving you confidence in the garment's sustainable credentials.
- Large 18-Litre Capacity: The generous dimensions and 13.5cm depth allow for the storage of bulkier items, making it far more practical than standard flat tote bags.
- 58cm Dual-Purpose Handles: The extended handle length provides the flexibility to carry the bag by hand or comfortably over the shoulder, adapting to the user's preference and load weight.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a lightweight yet resilient recycled cotton fabric, the WM925 is built to handle the rigours of daily use. Unlike standard promotional bags that can feel flimsy, this maxi tote features a gusseted design that adds structural integrity and volume. The fabric's soft-touch finish makes it pleasant to handle, while the REACH-compliant manufacturing process ensures it meets strict safety and environmental standards. The sewn tag is a subtle nod to its professional construction, ensuring it sits well within a corporate or retail environment.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This tote bag is an exceptional canvas for branding. With a massive 33 x 34cm print area, it is perfectly suited for bold, large-scale screen printing or DTF transfers that need to be seen from a distance. For a more sophisticated and enduring finish, the fabric also supports high-quality embroidery. Using a 22cm tubular hoop, our Telford-based experts can apply intricate logos or company names with precision. Since 1976, MyWorkwear has been perfecting these techniques, ensuring that your branding is applied with the technical expertise required to last the lifetime of the bag.
Use Cases
The WM925 is an ideal choice for eco-conscious retail businesses, event organisers, and marketing teams. Its large capacity makes it particularly useful for trade shows where attendees collect numerous brochures and samples, or for staff who require a dependable bag for transporting uniforms and light equipment between sites.

Practical Advice
When planning your design, consider the large surface area available on this maxi tote. Large, bold graphics work particularly well for brand visibility at a distance. If you intend to carry heavier items, the shoulder-carry option is recommended to distribute the weight more evenly across the body.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity of the recycled cotton and ensure your custom branding remains in peak condition, we recommend a gentle approach to cleaning. Maintaining the fabric properly ensures the bag remains a long-term ambassador for your brand.
Washing the bag inside out at a moderate temperature will help protect the printed or embroidered elements from abrasive contact with the machine drum. Avoiding harsh bleaching agents is essential, as these can break down the recycled cotton fibres and cause your branding to fade prematurely. When drying, air drying is preferable to machine drying to prevent any potential shrinkage and to keep the large print area flat and legible.
