**PLEASE READ FULL DESCRIPTION BELOW**

The Plain Sew On leather handle can easily attach to your bag, therefore it is our most popular handle. This handle is perfect for knitted, crocheted, felted, sewn, or woven purses. Handle is 3/4" wide in diameter.

Each strap has two sets of 4 holes on each end- this area of application is 2.25" on each end. This area, known as the button hole area is a total length of 4.5" per strap. This area is EXCLUDED on the lengths provided. For example: a 10" handle is actually 14.5" in total length, a 20" handle is actually 24.5" in total length, etc. If you have questions, please feel free to send a message.


The handle is made with 100% genuine leather, sourced from North American hides. 100% USA made.

Provided with the pair of beautifully crafted handles are 8 buttons and 8 feet of waxed linen. A tapestry needle will be required to sew the handles on, the buttons should be sewn on the inside of the bag for added reinforcement. (see picture #6 )



**Helpful tips for application:**
The 8' of waxed thread should be more than enough to sew on the handles and buttons. The thread is 3 ply and is tacky with wax- just a couple stitches through the holes making an "X" is all you need for all 8 buttons. If you do over do it, and need more thread, more can be purchased here:
