This is mammy from the ApparelX Trend Information Bureau.
In making bags and accessories, "ease of opening and closing," "a smart look," and "the presence of hardware" have a big impact on the finished impression.
This time, we introduce new magnetic hooks that meet those needs, along with textiles recommended for bag applications.
A magnetic hook is a hook that can be easily fastened and unfastened with the force of a magnet, and is used for closures on bags, purses, pouches, wallets, and more.
Because it closes with a snap using magnetic force, there is no need to press it in with force, and it can be opened and closed easily with one hand.
There are types that are attached by inserting prongs into fabric or leather, and types that are sewn on.
They can be used for tote bag openings, shoulder bag flaps, sacoches, pouches, and many other items, and are recommended because they allow opening and closing more intuitively than press fasteners and similar hardware.


This is one of my own bags, and as you can see, it is used to fasten the bag opening and similar parts.

This is an 8-hole magnetic button.
Since it is the sewn-on type, it can be easily attached later to fabric, leather, and more.

There is also a sewn-on type magnetic button made of plastic material.
Compared with metal, it is lighter, and by attaching a washer to the back of the textile it is reinforced, while also eliminating any unevenness with the magnet part.

This is also a sewn-on type magnetic button, but the sewn-on hole section is round and flower-like.
It is a magnetic button that gives the finished sewn-on shape a cute impression.

This is a 14MM insert-type magnetic hook.
The metal prongs are inserted into fabric or leather, and a washer is placed on the back and bent over to secure it.
Other sizes are
MAG HOOK-8MM Magnetic hook standard 8MM
MAG HOOK-12MM Magnetic hook standard 12MM
MAG HOOK-18MM Magnetic hook standard 18MM
also available.
There is also a slim insert type.
MAG-HOOK-single thread-14MM Magnetic hook high-power slim type 14MM
MAG-HOOK-single thread-18MM Magnetic hook high-power slim type 18MM

Compared with the standard type, it is much thinner and gives a smarter impression.
Even though it is slim, the magnet is strong, so you can be confident that it will fasten and unfasten securely.

This is a magnetic hook that is attached so that it cannot be seen inside the textile or leather.
Because the hook does not show on the surface, you can open and close it without interfering with the design of bags and similar items.
textiles recommended for bags that are sturdy enough not to be overpowered by the magnet's force when used together with magnetic hooks.
