Materials Preview: Hardware

I am busy today getting Etsy postings ready.  I will have six bags up for sale by the end of today, if not tomorrow.  Exciting!  Of course I will post here once they go up.  Until then, here are some quick details on the hardware I am using.  I have three colors: Antique Brass, Gun Metal and Nickel.

The Antique Brass hardware set includes a rounded center bar buckle for bag closures, d-rings for straps and ring rivets or flat capped rivets for reinforcing stress points.  The backsides of the Antique Brass rivets look different than the front side (a small hole). 

The Gun Metal hardware set includes a rounded center bar buckle for bag closures, double loops for straps and double capped rivets for reinforcing stress points.  Both sides of the Gun Metal rivets look the same.


The Nickel hardware set includes a square center bar buckle for bag closures, double loops for straps and double capped rivets for reinforcing stress points.  Both sides of the Ncikel rivets look the same.

With three options for hardware, three styles of bags and all of the felt and leather choices the combinations are almost endless.
