In mid-August we released our black & white striped zippers (in SIX different sizes), and our unique sew-in magnets hit the market in early September. Your response has been nothing short of amazing and we are so pleased!
So now... in direct response to your requests, we're very pleased to tell you that we are already EXPANDING our notions line to include some very good-looking metals!
You've told us that you love the look of the rectangle rings we generally feature in our handbag samples, so we've packaged them in a convenient set of four. You can choose your favorite finish, brass or nickel.
And if you like an adjustable strap on your handbag, then you'll appreciate the beautiful metal buckle we're featuring in our Buckle & Link Combo set, which you can also get in either brass or nickel.
All of these items are packaged with bar-coded StudioKat Designs hangtags, so if your local fabric store doesn't carry purse hardware, we'd love it if you let them know about our new line.
When I'm sewing, I usually select my finish based on the particular fabric I'm using at the time, but I've noticed that I tend to use more brass than nickel rings. So here's what I'm wondering now...
Which metal finish do YOU favor when you're sewing?
Nickel or Brass?

*Very* nice hardware! My fav of the two is nickel. I also like a brushed version or copper, but don't know if they exist. I'm definitely a "cool" person and don't do the yellow metals very well. By the way, that's the best looking buckle I've seen in a long time.
ReplyDeleteThanks Frances! I agree about the buckle. It has a sleekness I really like!
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm a BRASS person. I love the warmth of the color. Glad you are offering both options!! Lynn B.
ReplyDeleteI'm a golden person - which I understand from a jeweler this week is coming back into fashion FAST. But, the silver & brass are nice too. Depends on what the person I am sewing for likes best! That is what they will get!
ReplyDeleteFor me it depends on the project and the fabric I'm using and, if it's for a gift, I try to use what the recipient prefers. If I had my personal d'ruthers it would have to be nickel.
ReplyDeleteI seem to be partial to fabrics that look best with silver/nickel. Occasionally, though, a fabric will almost ask me to "go for the gold".
ReplyDeleteI love the cool look of nickel and like Frances G, I would love some brushed nickel and copper versions. (Copper is a favorite here in the southwest.) My favorite of all of your notions is the black/white zipper. :D
ReplyDeleteOoooh! I'll have to keep my eyes open for some copper findings! I think I'd like those too, but have never really seen any for sale!
ReplyDeleteActually I like bronze, but not everything comes in that shade. Usually the less shiny, depends on the fabric.
