Purse Feet
Rolled metal studs that keep a bag base off the ground and off the wear list. Rolled metal studs in 10 mm to 15 mm diameters that keep a bag base off the ground.
Every Purse Feet Item We Make
A base that touches the floor abrades within weeks, and feet with sharp prongs tear the lining during assembly, so the fix creates its own defect.
Problems This Category Solves
- A bag base that touches the floor abrades in weeks and comes back as a warranty claim
- Feet with sharp prongs tear the base lining during assembly

What You Get
- Rolled dome profile so the contact point is metal, not leather
