FAQ

Q1:How are these bag feet attached to the bag?

A1:They are die-cast zinc alloy in black, brass, gold, gunmetal, fixed by rivet (push through the base panel and clinch) or by screw for structured bags with an inner board. Both methods hold firmly on leather, PU and canvas bases, and the plating passes 48-hour neutral salt spray testing.

Q2:Which foot size should I choose for my bag?

A2:Mini styles (around 8mm top) suit small underarm bags and coin purses; the universal 12mm style is the standard choice for totes and handbags. Larger luggage uses taller feet – send your bag base thickness and we will match the post length.

Q3:Do you provide free samples before mass production, and what is the MOQ?

A3Yes. OYC provides free samples so you can check the casting detail, plating colour and logo work before committing.

Zinc Alloy or Brass – Choosing by Design, Not by Price

Zinc alloy die-casting is chosen for what it enables: sharp detail on engraved logos, tight size tolerances across batches, and clean reproduction of custom shapes that would be costly to stamp in brass. Brass remains the right choice where solid-metal weight and a heritage feel are part of the design brief. A good hardware partner should tell you honestly which one your project needs – and back either choice with 48-hour salt spray testing and nickel-release reports.
