Processing the replacement flap with snap fasteners
Our bags with interchangeable flaps are your absolute community favorites. Whether it's the Saddle Bag , Crossbody , or our newest Timeless Mini , you love the bags both because of their size and because of the possibility of constantly re-styling and customizing the bag with different flaps.
However, many of you have wanted an even easier and faster way to swap the flaps of your favorite bags. We have been tinkering and trying things out for a long time and here it is finally, the snap fastener solution for your bag bodies and swap flaps! 🥳
In our video tutorial we show you the different ways you can convert your already made bags to the snap fastener solution 😉
You need the following materials
Up until now, we have been a little hesitant about the snap fastener solution because it presents a few challenges : The snap fasteners can only be processed successfully with pliers or a press - and that is what our concept is supposed to be. Therefore, Prym tools are particularly suitable, but unfortunately the color of Prym's snap fasteners does not match our metal parts 100%. Attaching the snap fasteners to thicker leather can also be a little difficult. But we have found a few solutions here!
In our video tutorial we show you how to attach the snap fasteners with the Vario pliers or the Vario Creative Tool from Prym .
For snap fasteners, we use the anorak snap fasteners from Prym with a diameter of 12 mm . If you have never used these snap fasteners before, you will also need the tool inserts , which are included in the snap fastener starter set . If you already have the tool inserts, you only need the refill set . All items are now available in our shop!
