What's the most important things on your bag?

The hardware on your leather bag is another important part of determining the overall quality. In other words, what kind of metal is used? How durable is it? How can you really say it?

An easy way to determine the quality of your hardware is to feel its weight. Usually, there are buckles with your leather bags, you just need to touch these buckles, you should be able to feel the weight and density. In general, the quality of high-quality metals is a bit heavy, whether it is stainless steel or brass hardware.

Another important part of the hardware is the zipper. You really want to pay close attention to the quality of the zipper and its function. The last thing you want to happen is that the zipper stops working almost a month after you buy the bag. Therefore, before purchasing a leather bag, please give the zipper an accelerated course. Pull back and forth several times to feel the smoothness. If it's easy to get stuck, this usually means it's not the best quality. Usually, with a good quality zipper, the edges are smooth, not very sharp or avant-garde, so the zipper is smooth. This almost always requires a good quality, full-featured zipper.

We use antique brass hardware in our bags. Believe it or not, many of the mass-market bags use plastic or cheap metals that break easily. Not us, we use a specially formulated antique brass that ensures durability without adding extra weight. All of our hardware matches and is consistent in look to the vintage bags that inspired me.
