where to buy handbag hardware

Bag hardware refers to some metal-made accessories on bags, which are categorized widely and have different functions. Some designers may need to make bags by hand and will need to use these hardware items, while some bag manufacturers have a greater demand for them. So where to buy handbag hardware?

Small number of basic accessories can be bought directly from hardware stores

Hardware stores mainly sell construction and home maintenance-related metal products and tools, but some of their goods may overlap with bag accessories. For example:

• Basic metal parts: such as rivets, screw buckles, D-rings, etc., which can be used for DIY bag reinforcement.
• Zipper accessories: some hardware stores sell general-purpose zipper heads or zipper teeth, but the models are limited.
• Decorative accessories: a small number of stores may supply metal chains, fasteners, etc.

However, the bag accessories in hardware stores are usually industrial general-purpose models with a single style, made of iron or stainless steel, which may not meet the needs of high-end bags. For those with low requirements—such as individuals who want to DIY bags or make repairs—hardware stores are a viable option.
