What are all the accessories needed to create a crochet bag?

To create a crochet bag that is both impressive and can withstand the test of time, you need materials specifically designed for crochet bag creation. Tessiland has the widest assortment of bag accessories in Italy and adds trendy items every week!

Let's start our journey by talking about bag bottoms

There are faux leather bag bottoms, simulated leather bag bottoms, and real leather bag bottoms. All of them can be suitable for crochet bag making, and the substantial difference lies in the material:

The real leather bag bottoms are made from tanned leather specifically for this purpose, while those in faux leather are still made of real leather but come from using leather from animals that are slaughtered for other purposes. Their skin is "recovered" by optimizing the transformation processes and thus becoming eco-friendly. The simulated leather bag bottoms, on the other hand, are made with synthetic leather.

Tessiland produces different sizes and formats of BAG BOTTOMS, all pre-drilled and ready to use! Another fundamental characteristic is that all Tessiland bottoms can be matched with other eco-leather accessories (shoulder straps, handles, ring holders, flaps, and bag sets).

Staying among the accessories for building a crochet bag, we cannot overlook FLAPS AND SIDES. But what is a flap? The flap, also commonly called a bag flap, is a leather or faux leather creation (but also exists in other materials) that usually constitutes the front panel of a bag.

In addition to leather and faux leather accessories, Tessiland has a vast assortment of LASER-CUT BAG BOTTOMS AND FLAPS made of wood or materials that can be laser-cut, which Tessiland produces internally.

How important are bag chains?

To this question there is only one answer: chains are essential! The accessory will make the work unique, and that's why you have to choose the most suitable metal chain or resin chain for your project. In addition to chains, Tessiland offers a range of shoulder straps that perfectly match the eco-leather bottoms.

How to line crochet bags?

This processing phase is always the least enjoyable for most creatives, but it is also a phase that will make the project truly high-quality. A well-lined bag can be considered truly complete. To line a crochet bag, you can use scraps of recycled fabric, cotton fabrics, but if you really want a top product, there are bag linings created specifically for this purpose; the choice will depend on the importance you want to give to the final product.

How to stiffen a crochet bag?

The techniques are multiple. You can choose to use rigid ottoman cotton linings if the bag already has a significant texture. You can choose a crochet bag thermoadhesive. There are different types of thermoadhesive fabrics for crochet bags. Depending on the bag you are going to make, you can opt for a semi-rigid fabric with both sides soaked in a particular "web glue" that helps to fix the lining and make it adhere perfectly to the adhesive that will then be fixed to the panels created with the crochet hook. A second thermoadhesive is the one commonly -and improperly- called salpa. This thermoadhesive fabric is adhesive on only one side, and the non-adhesive side is made of eco-leather, making the lining of the bag unnecessary. In no case is it possible to make the thermoadhesive adhere to synthetic cords. The glue serves exclusively to help the fixing and make the fabric adhere perfectly, which must always be fixed with needle and thread.

Another method for structuring a crochet bag is the BAG NETTING. Also in this case, there are different choices: there are plastic nets of 10mm and 5mm, or more pliable nets made of silicone; the so-called CANVAS NETTING.

Where to find handles for crochet bags?

Among the hundreds of proposals for the creation of crochet bags, Tessiland has an unbeatable selection in terms of quality-price ratio and assortment. The handle is often the characteristic that stands out first in a bag, and it is essential to choose a handle that fits perfectly with the creation. Choose from BAMBOO HANDLES, METAL HANDLES, WOODEN HANDLES, RESIN HANDLES, ECO-LEATHER HANDLES, and the many other proposals that Tessiland proposes every week to stimulate your creativity.

Where to find BAG SETS?

If you're looking for a complete set to create a specific model, then you're in the right place! Choose from the many BAG SETS that Tessiland offers and periodically renews.

What accessories are necessary for making a crochet bag?

To make a truly perfect bag, there are several options, some necessary and others for embellishment:

CLOSURES AND MAGNETS: in this category of products, you can find MAGNETIC CLOSURES that are indispensable for making bags with a hidden closure. They can be sewn or with flaps and can come in various sizes and colors. The BUTTON CLOSURES, which instead are the classic visible closures, also come in many shapes and colors, both metallic and non-metallic. The highly requested SWIVEL LOCK CLOSURES which are typical closures for women's bags. Browsing this category, you can also find fashion bag closures with truly unique shapes.
ZIPPER AND ZIPPER PULLS for bags: zipper closures with a pre-punched leather base that can be perfectly matched with other eco-leather accessories for sale. Eco-leather zippers have become an indispensable accessory for a perfect bag.
BAG CARABINERS: but what exactly are carabiners for? Carabiners are accessories, mostly made of metal, that are used to attach shoulder straps, even those made with a crochet hook such as the Romanian cord, to the body of the bag. They can be attached directly to the crochet work, but more often, they are attached to particular supports called "ponticelli."
BAG HOOKS: metal structure to hook carabiners. There are different shapes and sizes of bag hooks in the Tessiland catalog and they are available in different metal colors.
BAG FEET: these small metal appendages are used to complete crochet bags. They have metal wings and can be mounted directly on crochet work and on faux leather bottoms (after drilling a hole).
EYELETS AND RINGS: eyelets are commonly called sail eyelets for bags. These eyelets are applied between the crochet stitches or by piercing the fabric and serve to create a metal structure where the bag chains can pass through.
BUCKLES: mainly used for backpacks and bags. The section also includes the highly sought-after COPRINODO.
ORNAMENTS: an entire section dedicated to the most sought-after embellishments for crochet bags. Enriching a bag with FRINGES or with PENDANTS in metal will complete and embellish one's crochet creation.

What are clic clac?

Once we have finished our crochet bag, we might want to create that detail, that accessory that will elevate our creation to a "parure"! That's where an entire section dedicated to various shapes, colors, and materials of CLIC CLAC comes in handy. Small metal structures or more significant wooden structures to create pochettes and wallets to match your bags. The section also includes very special and sought-after SNAP CLOSURES and BOX CLASPS.
