Hardware specification review
Finish, size, weight, attachment, plating color, logo detail, and durability are checked before final approval.
Handbag Hardware
Custom handbag hardware reviewed before bulk production.
Kanrow helps buyers check metal plates, logo tags, zipper pulls, buckles, chain details, strap adjusters, rings, plating finish, and attachment details.
Program Fit
Is this the right program for your bag?
Hardware is often the most visible branded detail on a handbag and the part most likely to fail under load. Decide early which parts are standard and which carry a custom logo or shape: custom parts need their own sample approval, and their tooling, minimums, and timing are quoted separately from the bag.

Metal plates, metal logo tags, zipper pulls, and decorative hardware can carry brand details when the order quantity supports tooling.
Production compatibility
Hardware is reviewed against material thickness, panel structure, stitch points, stress areas, and packing protection.
Production Brief
Handbag hardware specification and approval checks
Approve hardware on the sewn sample with the bag loaded, not only as loose parts. Keep one approved finish standard so every component on the bag, and every bulk lot, can be matched against it.
| Decision | What to specify | Sample or order check |
|---|---|---|
| Base metal and form | Specify, or ask for a proposal on, the base metal, such as zinc alloy, brass, steel, or aluminum, and whether parts are cast, stamped, or wire-formed, with dimensions and any weight limit. | Measure and weigh the sample part. Inspect for casting pits, burrs, sharp edges, and gaps where the part meets the strap or panel. |
| Plating color and finish | Give a physical reference for the color, such as light gold, silver, gunmetal, or antique brass, and the surface: polished, brushed, or matte. | Compare all parts on the bag with one approved finish standard in the same light. Agree whether corrosion or abrasion testing is required and what counts as a pass. |
| Logo plates and custom parts | Send logo artwork, plate size, the depth of engraved, raised, or cast detail, and the attachment method: rivets, screws, prongs, or stitched tabs. | Approve a first-article part before bulk production. Confirm mold or tooling cost, component minimums, and development time separately from the bag quote. |
| Load-bearing parts | Identify D-rings, swivel hooks, buckles, strap adjusters, and chains, with the strap configuration and the load the bag is expected to carry. | Agree a pull or load check on attachment points, then inspect tabs, rivets, and stitching around each part after testing. |
| Zippers and pullers | Choose coil, metal, or molded teeth, the zipper size, tape color, slider type, and a standard or custom puller. | Open and close the zipper on the filled bag. Check puller attachment, smooth running at corners, and finish match with the other hardware. |
| Market requirements and packing | State any destination-market limits on substances such as nickel, lead, or cadmium, the test reports required, and how polished parts should be protected in packing. | Match test reports to the hardware lot actually used, and inspect packed samples for scratches or rub marks on metal surfaces. |
