FAQs
What material are these fasteners made from?
They are made from high-quality zinc alloy.
What is the color of the fasteners?
The fasteners are a gold color.
Are these suitable for clothing?
These fasteners are primarily designed for bags, accessories, and decorative purposes. They are generally not intended for direct attachment to clothing.
How do I clean the fasteners?
Wipe them with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
What is the main benefit of the swivel clip design?
The swivel clip design allows for a rotating attachment point, which can prevent tangling and provide a more flexible and functional closure, while also offering a shapely aesthetic.
Can I use these on heavy-duty bags?
The zinc alloy construction offers durability, making them suitable for many bags. However, ensure the material they are attached to is also robust enough for the intended use.
Troubleshooting
Clip feels stiff or difficult to open/close.
Ensure no fabric or debris is obstructing the mechanism. Gently test the movement. If stiffness persists, a tiny drop of silicone lubricant may help. Check for any manufacturing defects.
Gold finish is tarnishing or discolored.
This is uncommon with quality zinc alloy. Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture or chemicals. If significant discoloration occurs, it may indicate a material defect.
Fastener does not attach securely.
Verify that the method of attachment is appropriate for the material and the stress the fastener will endure. Ensure all screws, rivets, or stitching are properly secured.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These swivel clip fasteners are typically attached by incorporating them into the construction of the bag or accessory. This often involves sewing them onto fabric edges or attaching them to a sturdy base material using appropriate hardware or adhesive methods as per your project's design.
Compatibility:
Compatible with a wide range of fabrics and crafting materials, including leather, canvas, denim, and heavier weight cottons. Ensure the material you are attaching them to is strong enough to support the fastener's function.
Care:
To maintain the appearance and function of the gold finish, wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the plating. For the mechanism, occasional light lubrication with a silicone-based lubricant may help maintain smoothness if needed.
