Product Description
Swivel Trigger Clip with D-Shape Base
A neat, reliable clip gives handmade bags a professional finish. The Swivel Trigger Clip with D-Shape Base is a compact, fabric-friendly option designed for slim straps and tabs. The flat, D-shaped base measures 20 mm internal width, ideal for 20 mm webbing, tape or folded fabric tabs; overall height is approximately 39 mm with an overall width of 25 mm. Made from durable zinc alloy with consistent plating, the clip feels solid in the hand and resists everyday knocks.
The lobster-style trigger opens smoothly with a thumb press and closes with a positive snap. A 360° swivel between the head and base prevents twisting, so wristlets and cross-body straps hang comfortably and tabs don’t distort with use. The flat base keeps bulk low at the attachment point and presents a clean line where it meets your stitching—useful on small pouches where every millimetre matters.
Finishes cover both modern and classic projects: Rainbow, Silver, Brass, Gold, Rose, Antique Silver, Bronze and Black. The palette makes it easy to coordinate hardware across a collection of pouches or to add a quiet accent that complements your fabric pull. Surfaces are smooth with tidy edges, so they sit well against cotton, canvas and webbing without snagging.
For makers, this clip works across a wide range of accessories:
• Removable wrist straps on zipper pouches and coin purses
• Slim cross-body straps on small bags and organisers
• Key fobs, scissor keepers and badge lanyards for workshops
• Tidy zip ends—clip to a D-ring for an easy grip
Fitting is straightforward. For fabric tabs, interface both layers with a medium woven fusible, fold, and top-stitch. Place the flat side of the D-base inside the tab so the curved side faces the strap; this helps the clip seat naturally in use. When attaching to webbing, fold the end twice and secure with a box-and-cross or multiple bar-tacks, using a shorter stitch length for strength. As with all plated hardware, avoid prolonged moisture and wipe with a soft cloth to preserve the finish.
These clips are intended for sewn goods and everyday carry; they are not load-rated for safety or climbing. Within bag-making, however, they offer a careful balance of strength, smooth action and a fine finish, bringing order and longevity to small, well-made items. Keep a selection of colours on hand and choose the finish that best supports your fabric and stitching—quiet utility with a crisp, refined look.
