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.

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?)

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

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