Promotional Cotton Tote Bag - The Giveaway King

If you've got an event and you've got a budget, the Promotional Cotton Tote Bag is the way to go. This is where our range begins but that doesn't mean the quality takes a hit. Our promotional cotton bag is the giveaway king, large enough to store freebies or brochures and event guides, and portable enough to be used as a daily bag by the delegates after the event is finished. The extra advertising you gain from using branded tote bags is a huge bonus, so be sure to send us a design that can be seen from a distance and help spread the word.

Cotton Tote Bag - The Bestseller

A staple of our range, the Cotton Tote Bag is by far our most popular product for a number of reasons. This bag is a high quality, versatile product that can be sold in-store and online, or given away. There's loads of beautiful colours available in our range and printing looks lovely on the super smooth 5oz cotton. If you're are an artist or designer, selling cotton tote bags is a no brainer. At BIDBI we specialise in working with our design conscious clients, advising and collaborating on how best to reproduce their artwork. Establishing a relationship with our loyal customers, we see them come back on a regular basis, and high margins that can be commanded from a tote bag mean that an artist can easily establish a sustainable source of income.  

Shopper Bag - A Robust Daily Bag

Another one of our bestsellers, the Canvas Shopper Bag is the bigger brother of the Cotton Tote Bag. Made from 8oz canvas, the shopper bag is designed to carry more weight, perfect for shopping trips. By choosing this product you are ensuring that your clients will be using regularly for their grocery shopping trips, which means lots of eyeballs on your company's branding. This bag come in natural, black or white meaning there's a colour to suit your business. This bag features a bottom gusset which allows for extra capacity compared to a standard tote bag. The shopper bag is also favoured by organisations such as museums and galleries that offer rewards and benefits to their members. We recommend screen printing simply with a text logo.

Organic & Fairtrade Range - A Conscious Choice

The latest offerings in our range, these bags are the most sustainable and environmentally friendly tote bags available anywhere. The certifications and provenance of these products make them a must for any business that operates with an ethical and environmentally conscious ethos. Whilst they do carry a premium price compared to our core range, the ultra low footprint and care that is put into creating these products means that consumers will be willing to pay a little extra. The Fairtrade certification covers all aspects of the welfare of the labour that is used to create the product, right through the production chain. This means that the cotton farmers, machinists and printers all abide by the regulations stipulated by the Fairtrade Foundation. In addition, the cotton is also Organic, which means that no synthetics are used in the farming and production processes. That means no pesticides to harm the environment or the farmers and a healthier water table with better irrigation and stronger crop rotation. We support our environmentally conscious clients by providing them with the most eco-friendly products possible. 

Large Shopper Bag - Over The Shoulder Fashion Fav

The Large Shopper Bag has a stylish look but is also an extremely practical bag. It has a massive capacity and oversized print area, so be sure to put this to good use if you want the bags to be seen by passers by. Favoured by fashionistas, this bag can handle what your handbag can't. It's constructed from 8oz canvas, so there'll be no problems with filling it to capacity with everything you need for a short break. We recommend utilising this bag's larger size to your advantage, by making your brand a walking billboard.

Luxury Shopper Bag - A Sophisticated Premium Option

The Luxury Shopper is a premium shopping bag that comes in a portrait orientation, with both side and bottom gussets meaning it's capacity is significantly increased compared to a traditional tote bag style. Perfect for carrying folders, paperwork and organising your daily life, this shopper bag is a capable, commuter friendly carrier. This bag is made to last, constructed from our heavyweight canvas blend and reinforced with thick hemmed edges. Gusset printing is also available, and words/slogans looks great printed on the sides of the bag. We've recently introduced a white variation of this product, meaning there's now natural, black and white options available. 

Super Shopper Bag - Beach Ready Carry-All

The Super Shopper Bag is the biggest bag we stock, and is capable of carrying as much as you can manage. It has an all round 15cm gusset so when opened its volume is nearly 20 litres. Much like the Large Shopper Bag, it boasts a massive print area covering most of the front and back faces, and can also be printed on the side gussets. Again, we have natural, white and black colourways available so pick a product that suits your brand's look. The Super Shopper is a beach ready, heavyweight solution that is loved by fashion and footwear retailers.   

Small Jute Bag - Rustic Chic

At about the same size as a handbag, the Small Jute Bag is made the natural fibre often referred to as hessian. Our range of jute bags are sturdy, and keep their shape whether full or empty. With super strong reinforced hemmed sidings and thick padded handles, this bag is made to stand the test of time. We've also introduced a biodegradable lining into our jute bags that makes them suitable for carrying perishables.

Large Jute Bag - All Natural Classic Styling

If you need a little more room, perhaps for a trip to the farm shop or deli, this is the bag of choice. The Large Jute Bag is favoured by more traditional retailers and is most commonly used as an add-on purchase in store. A great way to encourage brand loyalty, a screen printed logo looks rustic and traditional and fits in perfectly with the ethos of a retailer that prides itself on selling local produce.

Small Cotton Bag - For All The Little Things

When a traditional tote bag is too much, the small cotton tote bag takes over. Simply a scaled down version of our cotton tote bag, the Small Cotton Bag is a great size for books, toys and kids. Made to the same quality as the rest of the range, we recommend the small cotton bag for a more subtle approach. It's great as a wedding favour bag, or an event giveaway as part of a set, or for schools. It's both screen and digital print ready, so whatever your design is, this bag can take it. It also works as an extra product option for your shop, to give your customers a choice at the check out. 

Toiletry Bag - Ethical Fashion Accessory

Our Toiletry Bag is a heavyweight canvas zip purse that's equipped with a high quality, no-fail YKK zipper. Add a screen print or digital print to this pouch and you have an ethical accessory that fashion and make-up brands love. We recently re-stocked this product in natural, white and black colour variations for a choice of our customer favourite colourways. We recommend a minimal text simply printed to give an elegant finish. These purses are regularly used for brands to promote new lines and ranges, as well as a storage device for companies that sell little things.

Drawstring Backpack - Back To School

With the same dimensions as our standard range of tote bags, the Drawstring Backpack makes for a great branded bag for your school or sports team. A natural and eco-friendly alternative to the usual nylon/polyester offerings, our backpacks are made from 100% cotton, with cotton rope handles closing the backpack when pulled. Schools love these bags as they can be printed with the crest or emblem and distributed to all the pupils to store their gym kit or even packed lunches.

Apron - Ethical Kitchen 

Our heavyweight canvas Aprons are for ethically minded chefs looking for an alternative to plastic aprons. Made from a durable canvas fabric and equipped with a metal adjustable clasp, these aprons ooze classical qualities and when screen printed with a restaurant's logo. Alternatively, the aprons are loved by illustrators who want to add homewares to their range of products or as part of a bigger set that have matching artwork printed on them. We recommend packaging with a branded sleeve, then beautifully displaying for retail.  

Tea Towel - An Artist's Canvas

The Tea Towel is similarly used by artists and illustrators to merchandise their work. Created from the same heavyweight natural canvas, our tea towels are hemmed on all four sides and feature a cotton webbing hook for hanging. Take advantage of the large print area to display your design and use the tea towel as an artist's canvas. We stock the tea towels in natural or white, or if you would like a custom colour or edge to edge printing, use our bespoke service to create a tea towel to your own exact specification.  

Small Shopper Bag - It's Lunchtime 

The Small Shopper Bag is a super cute mini canvas bag that lends itself well to carrying a lunch box or anything similarly shaped. This little accessory bag is robust and sturdy whilst being ultra portable. Fit it inside a larger bag and whip it out when necessary. This bag also has thick webbed handles. Kids love this one too, and due to its rugged construction, it can withstand the test of time. Make it yours with a little screen or digital print. 

Drawstring Bags - Form and Function

We stock a range of Drawstring Pouches that come in a variety of sizes to suit different use cases. Whether you're using them to package an item to put on sale, or as a wedding / party favour bag, they are an ethical accessory that elegantly holds items securely due to the drawstring closure at the top. The super mini size is the cutest bag we stock and is great for holding tiny items such as jewellery and precious items. If you need something a little larger, then step up in size. With full printing options also available on these products, you can print your branding and and wow your customers with the presentation of your products. Need a larger size than our standard stock? No problem, get in touch and we can source even larger drawstring pouches.
