The designer has put together one complete set of the hardware needed to make one Twofer Tote, (minus the rivets as the size of those will vary depending on the thickness of the vinyl/cork/leather that you choose). This set includes:

  • One 1” D rings
  • Two 1” swivel clasps
  • One 1” strap adjuster
  • Two ⅝” D rings
  • One ⅝” swivel clasp
  • One 1” strap keeper (½ wide rectangle ring).

These are the same exact high equality hardware that the designer uses in their own bag making and they stand behind its quality. But please note, the designer is not a hardware supply company so they will only be offering these “starter kits” in nickel finish. If you wish to order one kit then click on the link below.
