Poor quality handles or PU leather will bring the look of a carefully made bag right down. Especially when you've spent hours crocheting, knitting or weaving it. These won't.

These leather bag handles for bag making attach with leather thonging rather than rivets — no tools, no hardware, no punching through delicate materials. Just thread the leather through and tie tightly. Full grain Italian vegetable tanned leather, made for makers who want the finish to do justice to the work.

What's in the pack

  • 2 x full grain leather handles, 80cm x 2cm each
  • Leather thonging for attachment (included)
  • Leather washers to protect your bag material on the inside
  • Pre-punched holes — ready to attach straight away
  • Four colours: Tan, Dark Brown, Black, Natural
How do I attach straps to my bag?

A set of full grain Italian vegetable tanned leather straps to attach onto your own bag projects. Comes cut to size and prepped with holes.  Can be attached to any material with the supplied thonging.  Leather washers are supplied for strength and to reduce stress on your own material. 

Simply feed the thonging through the holes on the handles, through your bag material and then out through the leather washers (which should sit on the inside of the bag). Tie the leather in a tight knot and pull tightly (can be pulled extra tight with the aid of pliers).

Measurements

The handles each measure 2cm wide by 80cm long and the leather is approximately 3.5mm thick (0.4mm tolerance either way).

If you would like specific measurements please get in touch.

The Leather

Italian vegetable tanned full grain leather, approximately 3.5mm thick. From a tannery in Tuscany. The top layer of the hide — tightest grain, strongest fibres. Vegetable tanning (as opposed to chrome tanning) produces leather that genuinely ages: colour deepens, a patina builds, and the more you use it the better it looks.
