The value of a bag lies in its "easy fastening and stylishness." Introducing recommended magnetic fasteners and textile for bags.

Share this blog post

This is mammy from the ApparelX Trend Information Bureau.

When making bags and accessories, the "ease of opening and closing," "smart appearance," and "presence of the hardware" all have a major impact on the impression of the finished product.

This time, we will introduce a new product, magnetic hooks, that meets these needs, as well as recommended textile for bag use.


What is a magnetic hook?

A magnetic snap is a fastener that can be easily fastened and undone using the power of a magnet, and is used on the opening and closing parts of bags, purses, pouches, wallets, etc.

It closes with a click thanks to the power of the magnet, so there is no need to push it in with force, and it can be opened and closed easily with one hand.

There are types that are attached by inserting claws into fabric or leather, and types that are sewn on.

It can be used for a variety of items such as the opening of a tote bag, the flap of a shoulder bag, a sacoche bag or a pouch, but it is a recommended hook as it is more intuitive to open and close than press fastener etc.
