Metal Hardware for the Leather Industry
Quality leather goods are defined not just by the leather itself, but by the metal hardware that holds them together. From belt buckles to bag clasps, the right hardware transforms raw leather into finished luxury goods.
Ata Buttons supplies a comprehensive range of metal hardware for leather workshops and factories, including rivets, buckles, snap buttons, and eyelets.
Rivets for Leather
Capped Rivets
Capped rivets are the most common leather hardware component. The decorative cap sits flush on the visible side while the burr spreads on the inside. Used for:
- Belt strap junctions
- Bag handle attachments
- Wallet and card holder assembly
- Decorative studs on leather jackets
Double Cap Rivets
When both sides of the leather are visible (like on a bag strap), double cap rivets provide a finished look on both faces.
Stone and Decorative Rivets
Stone rivets feature a gemstone or crystal setting, adding sparkle to leather accessories. Popular in women's bags, belts, and fashion leather goods.
Buckles for Leather Goods
D-Ring Buckles
D-ring buckles and alloyed D-ring buckles are essential for bags, backpacks, and adjustable straps. Available in wire (bent from rod) and cast (zamak alloy) versions.
Roller Buckles
Roller buckles are the classic belt buckle design, featuring a rotating tongue that sits in the belt hole. Available in various widths matching standard belt widths.
Adjustment Buckles
Slider buckles allow continuous strap length adjustment without holes. Used on bag straps, backpack straps, and adjustable belts.
Snap Buttons for Leather
Spring snap buttons are preferred for leather because they provide strong closure force suitable for thick materials. Our coin cap spring snaps and S540 super snaps are popular choices for:
- Leather bag flap closures
- Leather jacket front closures
- Leather bracelet and cuff closures
- Leather phone cases and wallets
Eyelets for Leather
Brass eyelets are used in leather for shoelaces, belt lacing, and decorative perforations. For leather shoes specifically, iron shoe eyelets provide economical reinforcement for lace holes.
Choosing the Right Plating for Leather Hardware
The plating finish should complement the leather color and style:
| Leather Type | Recommended Finishes |
|---|---|
| Natural / Tan Leather | Antique brass, raw brass, gold |
| Black Leather | Nickel, gunmetal, matte black, chrome |
| Brown Leather | Antique brass, copper, gold |
| White / Light Leather | Nickel, silver, rose gold |
| Vintage / Distressed | Antique copper, antique nickel, oxide |
