🧵 The handle

MAS Srl Metal Arch Handles are professional accessories designed for those who make DIY bags and are looking for an elegant, durable, and secure result.

These arch handles are perfect for medium-sized handbags, elegant pochette bags, and structured clutches. The 5 mm thickness ensures robustness without weighing down the design, while the shiny finish adds a professional touch to every handmade creation.

🧬 Technical composition: why it works

Metal is the ideal choice for accessories in direct contact with the skin. Unlike traditional metals, it makes the handles safe for everyone.

The anti-chip treatment applied to the surface protects the handle from scratches, impacts, and daily wear. This means the shiny finish remains intact over time, even with frequent use of the bag. The MAS Srl manufacturing process also includes a manual finishing step that eliminates sharp edges and imperfections, ensuring a product that is safe to handle and install.

📦 Format and dimensions

Each package includes 2 complete handles, enough to make a bag with two handles. These dimensions are ideal for medium-sized bags: large enough to ensure a comfortable grip, but not excessive for elegant pochette bags and clutches. The lightweight feel ensures convenience without compromising on durability.

The arch shape is designed to distribute the bag's weight evenly on the hand, reducing fatigue during use. If you are making multiple bags of the same model, we recommend purchasing all necessary packages in a single order to ensure color and finish uniformity across different production batches.

🔧 Assembly and application

Arch handles can be applied in various ways depending on the type of bag and the material used. The most common method involves inserting the handle directly into the fabric through reinforced loops sewn onto the top of the bag. This system is ideal for crochet, knitted, or structured fabric bags, where the handle is passed through a series of stitches or a specially created opening.

For leather or faux leather bags, we recommend application using metal rivets or reinforced stitching with heavy-duty thread. It is important to provide an internal reinforcement (e.g., a double leather strip or a rigid insert) in the attachment area to prevent the weight of a loaded bag from tearing the material. The 5 mm thickness of the metal wire requires holes at least 6 mm in diameter for easy insertion.

✨ Why choose MAS Srl Metal Arch Handles

Compared to plastic or resin handles, metal handles offer superior durability and a much more professional appearance. They do not deform with heat, do not chip easily, and maintain their original shape even after years of use.

The shiny finish gives your handmade creations a touch of elegance that makes the difference between an artisanal bag and a product that looks amateurish. This detail is particularly appreciated by those who sell their creations or give them as gifts, as it immediately communicates care, attention to detail, and quality of materials used.

🎨 What you can create

These handles are perfect for medium and large handbags, ideal for daily use or elegant occasions. They are particularly suitable for structured pochette bags, evening clutches, and crochet bags with a rigid base. Their compact dimensions also make them perfect for beach bags in ribbon yarn or raffia, where the metal handle creates an interesting contrast with natural materials.

👩🎨 Who is it for

These handles are suitable for intermediate and advanced levels, as they require some experience in assembly and reinforcing the attachment area. Beginners can still use them by following specific tutorials or asking advice from those who have already worked with metal accessories. The final result more than rewards the initial effort.

They are particularly appreciated by artisans who sell their creations, as MAS Srl quality allows you to offer a safe product that complies with regulations. Even those who make bags as gifts find that these handles make a difference, communicating care and attention in the choice of materials.
