In bag and accessory making, "ease of opening and closing," "a smart look," and "the presence of the parts" all greatly affect the finished impression.
This time, we will introduce new magnetic hooks that meet those needs, along with recommended textiles for bag applications.
A magnetic hook is a hook that can be opened and closed easily with a click using the force of a magnet, and it is used for openings and closures on bags, purses, pouches, wallets, and more.
Because it snaps shut with magnetic force, there is no need to push it in with force, and it can be opened and closed easily with one hand.
There are types that are attached by inserting prongs into fabric or leather, and types that are sewn on.
They can be used for various items such as tote bag openings, shoulder bag flaps, sacoche bags, and pouches, and they are a recommended hook because opening and closing is more intuitive than with press fasteners and similar hardware.


This is one of my own bags, and as you can see, it is used to fasten the opening of a bag.

This is an 8-hole magnetic button.
Since it is a sew-on type, it can be easily attached later to fabric, leather, and similar materials.

There is also a sew-on type magnetic button made of plastic material.
Compared with metal, it is lighter, and by attaching a washer to the back of the textile it can be reinforced, while also eliminating any unevenness with the magnet section.

This is also a sew-on type magnetic button, but the hole section for sewing is round and shaped like a flower.
It is a magnetic button that gives a cute impression even after it is sewn on.

This is a 14MM insert-type magnetic hook.
Insert the metal prongs into fabric or leather, then place the washer on the back and bend it to secure.
In different sizes,
MAG HOOK-8MM magnetic hook standard 8MM
MAG HOOK-12MM magnetic hook standard 12MM
MAG HOOK-18MM magnetic hook standard 18MM
are also available.
There are also slim insert types.
MAG-HOOK-S-14MM magnetic hook high-strength slim 14MM
MAG-HOOK-S-18MM magnetic hook high-strength slim 18MM

Compared with the standard type, it is much thinner and gives a smart impression.
Even though it is slim, the strong magnet ensures secure opening and closing, so you can use it with confidence.

This magnetic hook is attached so that it is not visible inside the fabric or leather.
Because the hook does not show on the outside, you can open and close it without interfering with the design of the bag or similar items.
recommended textiles for bags that can withstand the force of the magnet when used together with magnetic hooks.
