38 mm Luxury Handbag Purse Hook
A 38 mm inner width zinc alloy hook with a heavier body than the standard 38 mm clasp, finished in antique brass, rainbow, gold, rose gold, nickel or gunmetal. The extra section is what makes a hook feel solid in the hand on a premium bag. Minimum 500 pieces, which is lower than most catalogue hooks.
The heaviest 38 mm hook in the range, and one of the few with a 500 piece minimum.

Problems It Solves
- A strap that will not swivel puts all the load on one edge of the webbing and tears it at the fold
- Trigger springs that lose tension after a few hundred cycles make a finished bag feel cheap on the shelf
- Hook throat width that does not match the ring it clips to leaves the strap rattling or jamming
Key Benefits
- The barrel swivel turns freely under load, so the strap lies flat wherever the bag is carried
- Spring tension is tested by hand on every batch before the goods are counted
- Throat and inner width are cast to the size on the drawing, so the hook pairs with your own D ring or rectangle ring
Application Scenarios
- Detachable shoulder straps on handbags and crossbody bags
- Backpack chest and sternum strap ends
- Key fobs, lanyards and badge holders
- Dog leash ends where a swivel stops the lead twisting
Who It Is For
- Handbag and crossbody bag factories buying strap hardware by the size range
- Leather workshops that need one hook in several plated colours for a seasonal line
- Lanyard and promotional gift suppliers who need a logo on the hook body

Every image is a photograph of the part itself, taken from the manufacturer's own product record rather than a rendering.
Use Guide
- Match the hook inner width to the webbing width, not to the ring outer size
- Clip and unclip a sample 50 times before approving the spring tension
- For leather straps, check that the swivel post clears the stitch line
| Compared with | What changes |
|---|---|
| Welded fixed hook | A welded hook is cheaper but cannot swivel, so the strap twists and wears at the fold |
| Plastic snap hook | Plastic saves weight but flexes under a loaded bag and cannot carry a plated brand colour |
| Stainless steel hook | Stainless resists corrosion better but costs more and offers a far narrower colour range |

Questions About This Item
Sizing, finish, minimum order and lead time on this part.
Can You Match the Hook to a Ring I Already Buy Elsewhere
Yes. Send the ring or a photo with the inner width and we cast the hook throat to suit it.
Will the Spring Stay Tight After Plating
Plating is done before the gate is assembled, so the spring is not annealed by the process and keeps its tension.

Stock samples are free and you pay only the courier. Sampling time is 1 to 3 days, and we will confirm the MOQ and the plated finish in writing before production.
