Our Oilcloth
Modern oilcloth tends to refer to cotton printed fabrics which are given a hot melt vinyl plastic (PVC) coating in order to get a water resistant and wipe clean finish.
Cotton oilcloth is not to be mistaken with PVC vinyl fabric which is 100% plastic and can rip once sewn.
Cotton oilcloth is a much stronger, hard wearing fabric which makes it ideal for making bespoke bags. This fabric is also easy to keep clean and hygienic.
Oilcloths come in a traditional gloss finish with a high shine, or a subtle matt finish, leaving the result looking more like the original fabric. Both are as strong as each other, however the matt fabric offers more manipulation, making it easier for use with certain bag designs.
