Hi!

Where can I find really nice, solid and exclusive briefcase hardware?

Not sure what you are defining as really, nice, solid. By exclusive do you mean custom made for you? Is this for hard sided or soft brifcases, are you looking for hinges, latches, locks, corner caps? Here are some places to look, if you have not already done so.

Thanks for all of the links but It's not quite what i'm looking for! English is not my native language, but I will try to explain myself better. With exclusive I mean luxuary hardware. Not just thin hardware made out of sheet metal. I want solid hardware , maybe cast parts in silver or bronze that you can actually feel the weight of the metal when you are holding it in your hand . A high price is not a problem if the quality matches the price. Maybe someone have Links to people making handmade or custom hardware.

It's for soft briefcases. The hardware i'm looking for is mainly Closure and D-ring hardware.

Abbey England (www.abbeyengland.com) have a fair range of solid brass case fittings and locks. Navigate through to their Liston Locks & Fittings page (http://www.abbeyengland.com/Store/tabid/77/CategoryID/201/Category2ID/110/Level/2/List/1/language/en-GB/Default.aspx). They are not cheap, but the quality is good.
