Members Glendon Posted June 25, 2011 Members Report Posted June 25, 2011 Has anyone seen anything like this handle hardware for sale? I'm not worried about the latch, but the bar hardware that supports the handle on this bag. Anyone know a name for this or seen it before? I'm not sure if it's typical or not. Thanks in advance Quote
Members amuckart Posted June 25, 2011 Members Report Posted June 25, 2011 I don't know where to get 'em but my experience of bags with fittings like that is that the proper name for them is 'useless junk'. On all of the bags I've seen with that style of handle fitting it's been a nasty flimsy bit of metal on the inside trying to make up for the fact that there isnt' enough substance in the actual lid of the bag for the handle to hold on to.

Ya I kind of figured that was the point of the thing. What I'm working on is replicating this bag. Not perfectly, but the general style. It's a Japanese school bag that is popular in some circles. Maybe what I will do is use some more common handle fittings and simulate that extension across the top with some of the stiffener I plan to use in the rest of the bag. Quote
