Purse Strap Rivets

[rktaylor]

I have searched the internet for rivets like this to no avail. Maybe my search terms are incorrect. Does anyone know where I can purchase these? I haven't worked on purses, but have been asked to shorten this strap. That means removing this rivet. Any advice is appreciated.

Tandy sells them as "domed rivets". 2 sizes- 7mm and 10mm. They sell setters for them also.

Are they rapid rivets or screw-backs?

On ebay;  one example, 8mm dia screw-backs;  http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/8mm-12mm-20mm-Dome-Rivet-Screw-DIY-Leathercraft-Punk-Spots-Hat-Shoe-Bag-Decor/142242086124?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=441307270496&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

rapid rivets; https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/6mm-8mm-10mm-12mm-15mm-Round-Double-Mushroom-Cap-Rapid-Stud-Rivet-Leather-DIY/282401196506?hash=item41c06c49da:m:m-SVdK7eXKjmFdtPrJMRNOA

That doesn't look like a domed (i.e. half dome) rivet. There seems to be 3/4 of a circle there, almost like the top of a stud. It seems to be in the middle of a rectangular plate of some sort, which is raised up. That also says, to me, that it is not a domed rivet.
Maybe a query to Ohio Travel Bag? Ask the hardware retailers (NOTE-- I do not work for them, but I have bought hardware from them before):

Were you able to locate the part? (If you did find it, what is it actually called?)

[rktaylor]

The domed rivets from Tandy look just like this. I haven't measured these, but I will tomorrow.

Doubled capped rivets?

[rktaylor]

The ones on this purse are double capped. I haven't made it to Tandy to look at replacements.
