Description
Heavy Flat Tubular Cotton Braids – 100% Natural, Durable & Sustainable
Designed for Professional Trade Supply
At Textile Enterprises we manufacture Heavy Flat Tubular Cotton Braids for commercial and trade customers who require a thicker, stronger, and more robust cotton braid. Manufactured in the UK on our specialist braiding machines using 100% natural cotton, this heavier version uses additional yarn compared to our standard flat tubular braids, delivering increased strength, weight, and a premium finish. The natural cotton construction also makes the braid biodegradable and sustainable, supporting environmentally conscious brands.
This braid features a hollow flat tubular structure that combines excellent durability with a comfortable feel. The heavier build provides added substance and improved performance, making it ideal for applications that require a robust drawstring or trimming with a professional appearance. Despite its heavier construction, the braid remains flexible and easy to handle during production.
With extensive UK manufacturing experience, we supply these braids to fashion brands, garment manufacturers, textile producers, and specialist trade customers across the UK and beyond.
Product Options and Range Availability
Our standard Heavy Flat Tubular Cotton Braids are available in 11mm, 15mm, and 17mm widths. In addition, as UK manufacturers, we can produce bespoke widths to meet specific customer requirements.
For customers requiring alternative materials, this braid can also be produced in polyester or polypropylene to suit different technical or performance needs. Because applications vary, we work closely with customers to define the correct specification.
Available Sizes & Colour Options
Our Braids can be supplied in a range of colours, supporting branding, design coordination, and product differentiation.
