Fashion Purse Chain
The same 7 by 12 by 2 mm link chain shown across nine finishes and materials, from zinc alloy through to plastic links. Seeing the finishes side by side matters on chain, because the same link reads very differently in light gold and in gunmetal. Sold by the metre from 100 metres.
The finish reference set for chain, with nine plated and material options side by side.

Problems It Solves
- Chain that kinks does not hang straight and makes a finished bag look cheap

Who It Is For
