Lining fabrics not only protect the interior of a bag but also add structure and a polished finish.
Selecting the right bag lining material and type of lining construction is essential for achieving the desired functionality and aesthetic.

What's the difference between cotton and polycotton lining?

Cotton lining is made from 100% natural fibres, offering excellent breathability. However, it can be less durable than polycotton and more prone to shrinking if not pre-treated.
Polycotton is a blend of cotton and polyester, combining the characteristics of cotton with the durability and resilience of synthetic fibres.
This makes it more resistant to wear, wrinkles and shrinking, as well as easier to maintain.
Polycotton also retains its shape and colour better over time and is typically more cost-effective, though it is slightly less breathable than pure cotton.
Designers may choose a cotton lining for its natural feel and sustainability, while a polycotton lining is better suited for projects requiring durability, practicality and affordability.
