Pellon is an interfacing/stiffener that is used in tote bags, purses and the like to give the fabric a lot of body. Personally for tote bags and purses I like using Buckram better. I use a light weight Heat Bond to adhere it to my fabric. Buckram is a drapery stiffener that is very nice for bags. I get it at Mary Jo's in Gastonia, NC. I can get the 20" width there.

I might change my mind in 20 yrs after I use all that up. I get my notions with Joann's coupons.

I asked her where the pellon was and she showed me. I would never have found it because it was hidded under their cutting tables. She finds the one I need and is just about to cut when I asked how much it was meter. She then replied it is $15 a meter. I think my jaw hit the ground. I was like forget that I can get it cheaper in the states and walked out. Is pellon usually that expensive? When you make a bow tuck tote how much do all your supplies usually cost? Sorry this is so long I just can't believe the cost some things at some stores compaired to the cost at others.
I have also seen it for sale from Pellon directly for about that price - but you have to purchase an entire bolt of it.

This is the site I was looking at - they do ship outside the US, and their prices are much more reasonable, if you are willing to buy by the bolt.
