THE FUNCTIONS OF BAG HARDWARE
Reinforcement and Durability:
Components like grommets or bag feet are often used to reinforce and protect areas of the handbag that may be prone to wear and tear, ensuring the bag can withstand regular use.
Functionality:
Locks and magnetic snaps play a crucial role in the functionality of a handbag. They provide secure closures that allow easy access to the bag's contents while also keeping them safely contained.
Adjustability and Versatility:
Buckles, sliders, and hooks are used in a set to adjust the length or position of straps. They enable the wearer to customise the bag according to their preference and comfort.
Connection Points:
Rings, bridges, and strap connectors provide attachment points for straps and handles.
Decoration and Style:
Handbag hardware can also serve as decorative elements, giving a professional and luxurious feel to the bag, contributing to the design and making a fashion statement.
OUR BAG HARDWARE MATERIALS & FINISHING
Our stock hardware is predominantly made of zamac (a zinc alloy, the name is an acronym of the first letters of zinc, aluminum, magnesium and copper).
Also known as zamak, this lightweight material is the most commonly used for handbag accessories, usually cast into two molds.
Most of our bag making hardware is available in silver and brass plating.
BAG HARDWARE COLOUR MATCHING
Colour matching for metal elements can be an issue because different manufacturers use different materials and plating components/techniques.
We are actively working to ensure consistent finishings across all our stock. While our silver finishes are already matching, we are currently addressing discrepancies in our gold finishes. We are in negotiations with a plating company to produce finishings to our exact specifications. Presently, we offer four types of gold in our stock, each clearly named in the product descriptions to facilitate matching.
