🔩 The accessory

LacariaRicami 11.5x6mm screw-in bag feet are metal alloy accessories designed to protect the bottom of handmade, artisan, and crochet bags. Unlike pronged feet, the screw system guarantees a more stable and long-lasting attachment, ideal for bags that are frequently placed on rough or damp surfaces.

Each pack includes 2 metal feet with a rear screw, ready to be mounted on leather, faux leather, reinforced fabric, or crochet bags. Their compact size (11.5mm diameter, 6mm height) makes them perfect for small and medium-sized bags, pochette, clutches, and belts.

🛡️ Material and resistance: why metal alloy

The metal alloy used for these feet offers a perfect balance between lightness and resistance. Unlike pure steel, the alloy is easier to work with and does not weigh down the bag, while maintaining high resistance to wear, corrosion, and impacts. This means the feet maintain their glossy finish even after months of daily use.

The galvanized surface protects the metal from oxidation and rust, making these feet suitable even for summer bags that might come into contact with sand, humidity, or salt air. The glossy finish (gold, silver, bronze, nickel) does not fade or scratch easily, ensuring a professional appearance over time.

📐 Dimensions and compatibility

With an 11.5mm diameter and 6mm height, these feet are sized for small and medium bags. They are perfect for clutches, shoulder bags, crochet bags, and decorated belts. For large bags or backpacks, we recommend using 4 feet instead of 2 to better distribute weight and ensure optimal stability.

The screw system makes them compatible with materials of varying thickness: leather up to 3mm, reinforced faux leather, fabric backed with rigid interfacing, thick felt, and structured crochet bags. For crochet bags, we recommend reinforcing the attachment point with an internal felt or faux leather backing to prevent the screw from stretching the stitches over time.

🔧 Assembly and installation

Installing the screw-in feet is simple and does not require professional tools. Simply punch a hole in the desired spot (we recommend marking the position first with a washable marker), insert the foot from the outside of the bag, and screw it in from the inside. The included screw is already the correct size to ensure a stable attachment without protruding too much on the inside.

For leather or thick faux leather bags, we suggest using an awl or a 2mm drill bit to make the hole. For crochet bags, it is enough to slightly widen a stitch with a larger crochet hook. The screw system offers an important advantage over pronged feet: it can be removed and repositioned without damaging the material, which is useful if you want to change the placement or replace the foot with a different finish.

✨ Why choose LacariaRicami screw-in feet

Compared to metal pronged feet, the screw system offers a more stable and durable attachment, especially on rigid materials like leather and faux leather. Prongs can loosen over time with frequent use, while the screw maintains a constant grip. Additionally, the screw system is more discreet: it leaves no metal protrusions inside the bag, making the base smoother and more comfortable.

The ability to remove and reposition the feet without damaging the material is a tangible benefit for those who work on commission or want to customize their creations. You can change the finish (e.g., from gold to silver) without having to redo the hole, or move the feet if the initial position is not quite right. This level of flexibility is not possible with pressure-fit or pronged feet.

🎨 What you can create

Metal screw-in feet are perfect for handmade leather and faux leather bags, crochet bags with rigid bases, artisan clutches, belts decorated with metal details, DIY backpacks, and shoulder bags. They are also used for creative items such as structured wallets, rigid pencil cases, and tablet sleeves.

👩‍🎨 Who it's for

These feet are suitable for both beginners and experts. Screw-in assembly is simpler than pressure-fit feet (which require a specific press) and more stable than pronged feet (which require precision in bending). Even those who have never mounted metal accessories on a bag can achieve a professional result on their first attempt.

They are particularly appreciated by those who work on commission or sell handmade bags online because they ensure long-lasting attachment and a neat look. Crochet enthusiasts use them to finish summer bags, evening clutches, and shoulder bags, while leather artisans choose them for belts, wallets, and fashion accessories.
