🧵 The accessory

The 10x5mm metal bag feet are indispensable accessories for those creating handmade bags, artisanal belts, and projects in leather or faux leather. Made of zamak metal (zinc-aluminum alloy), they ensure strength and durability, protecting the bottom of the bag from wear and dirt. Each package contains 2 feet complete with a rear screw, ready to be installed with a simple screwdriver.

The compact dimensions of 10x5mm make them perfect for small and medium-sized bags, clutches, shoulder bags, and handcrafted accessories where a subtle yet functional detail is needed. The screw-in attachment system ensures superior stability compared to pronged feet, ideal for thick materials or projects requiring higher mechanical resistance.

🧬 Material and finish: why zamak metal

Zamak metal (zinc-aluminum alloy) is the preferred material for artisanal metal accessories because it combines lightness, corrosion resistance, and ease of processing. Unlike pure brass, which is heavier and more expensive, zamak offers an excellent price-quality ratio while maintaining a smooth and uniform surface finish, ideal for galvanic treatments like gold, silver, or bronze plating.

The available finishes (gold, silver, bronze, black) are obtained through galvanic treatment that ensures durability and resistance to oxidation. This means the feet maintain their original appearance even after months of daily use, without losing shine or developing spots. Choosing the finish allows you to coordinate the feet with other metal accessories on the bag (zippers, carabiners, rings) for a consistent and professional aesthetic result.

📦 Format and package contents

Each package contains 2 feet complete with a rear screw. This format is designed for individual projects: a standard bag typically requires 4 feet (2 packages), while a clutch or small bag might only use 2. The 2-piece set allows you to purchase the exact quantity needed without waste, optimizing costs per project.

For larger projects or for those working on multiple bags simultaneously, we recommend purchasing multiple packages of the same color to ensure finish uniformity. Color variations may show slight tonal differences between production batches, so it is always preferable to complete a project using feet from the same shipment.

🧶 Attachment system: screw vs. prongs

The rear screw system is the most stable solution for attaching feet to thick or rigid materials like leather, structured faux leather, or pressed felt. Unlike feet with metal prongs to be bent, which require hammering and can loosen over time, the screw ensures a reversible and adjustable attachment: you can tighten or loosen the foot without damaging the support material.

Installation requires only a Phillips screwdriver: you make a hole the diameter of the screw (about 2-3mm), insert the foot from the outside, and screw in the back from inside the bag. No special tools, no press, no hammering. This makes screw-in feet ideal even for beginners or those working at home without professional equipment.

✨ Why choose these feet

Compared to pronged feet, the screw system solves the problem of stability on thick or multilayer materials. If you have ever tried to mount pronged feet on padded faux leather or rigid felt, you know that the prongs struggle to bend completely and the attachment ends up being unstable. The screw goes through the material cleanly and tightens from the inside, distributing pressure evenly without creating visible bulges or deformations.

Furthermore, the screw attachment is reversible: if you position them incorrectly or want to replace the foot, you can unscrew it without damaging the material. With pronged feet, once they are bent, the error is irreversible. This makes screw-in feet the ideal choice for artisans who want a clean, professional, and modifiable result even after installation.

🎨 What you can create

The 10x5mm feet are perfect for small and medium-sized handmade bags, clutches, shoulder bags, rigid purses, and handcrafted leather or faux leather accessories. Thanks to their compact dimensions, they do not visually weigh down the project but provide concrete protection for the bottom of the bag. Also ideal for decorative belts, structured wallets, rigid cases, and tablet or laptop sleeves where a functional metal detail is needed.

👩‍🎨 Who is it for

These feet are suitable for both beginners and experienced artisans. Screw-in installation is simpler and less risky than prong or rivet systems because it requires no hammering or special tools. If you are making your first leather or faux leather bag, screw-in feet allow you to achieve a professional result without investing in expensive equipment.

Those who purchase these feet typically work on handmade projects for personal use or for sale: hobbyists creating bags for themselves or as gifts, artisans selling on Etsy or at local markets, and tailors offering bag customization services. The compact dimensions and coordinated finishes make them perfect for those seeking a polished detail without excessive ornamentation.
