Bag lever closure

[stormcrow]

Anyone know where I can find a lever closure like the one in the picture? Or what would you call this type of closure so I can try to search for one. Thanks.

I don't know, but I like it! Hope someone on the forum knows the answer. I searched the closure on Google Images, and found nothing like it.

They are used by someone called norncahnleatherworks on etsy love how they look. I've also searched all over for them and not had any luck finding them yet. Just ordered some horween Dublin to make myself a bag and I'd love to use a closure like this for it.

Ask Le Prevo. They won't have it but they might know where to get it.

In the distant past I've asked them about certain things and they were able to source the item for me

Just ordered two of them from Ohio Travel Bag. Now I need to figure out what I'm putting them on.

The ones I ordered arrived a couple of days ago they are good quality. like you all I have to do now is work out what I'm going to make now. I need to finish the one I'm currently busy with first though.

I'll have a look on etsy, got to be less postage than $29 I'm in no rush now though as I bought 4 and at the rate I work I'm good for a very long time

I have an entire subfolder in my leatherwork folder devoted to "bag closure ideas". I'm not happy with the ones I've done so far. My first was a magnetic closure. Too hard to make the magnets line up (socket type) quickly. The second one was a buckle, but with a hidden closure under that, because who wants to fool with a buckle every time they get into the main pocket of a bag.  Anything that takes three hands to use is not right for a bag. A simple fold over is best, but not from a security standpoint, and my wife has a pistol in her bag.

Received my parts from Ohio Travel Bag. A little bigger and heavier than I expected. They would need to be used on something large enough to be in proportion. Nice quality stuff though. I saw a belt online that used this closure on a belt, that was different!
