Metal Handbag Purse Chain
A bag chain with a 7 mm link width, 12 mm link height and 2 mm thickness, in zinc alloy, iron, aluminium or plastic. Publishing all three link dimensions lets a designer predict the drape before ordering, which a single size figure never does. Sold by the metre from 100 metres.
All three link dimensions published, so the drape can be judged before the first order.
| Link Width | 7 mm |
|---|---|
| Link Height | 12 mm |
| Thickness | 2 mm |
| Material | Zinc alloy, iron, aluminium or plastic |
| Finishes | Rainbow/Gold/Rose Gold/Nickel/Gunmetal/Antique Brass |
| Typical Use | Bag/purse |
| Minimum Order | 100meters |
Problems It Solves
- Chain that kinks does not hang straight and makes a finished bag look cheap
- Plating that wears at the link contact points shows bare metal within a season
- Buying chain by the piece makes strap length changes expensive
Key Benefits
- Supplied by the metre so strap length is a cutting decision, not a tooling one
- Link width, height and thickness all specified, because link pitch decides the drape
- Zinc alloy, iron, aluminium and plastic link options for different weights
Application Scenarios
- Shoulder and crossbody chain straps
- Decorative chain trim on flaps and pockets
- Wallet and keychain chains
- Chain and leather combination straps
Who It Is For
- Handbag brands building chain straps in house
