uxcell Metal Purse Frame Set 5-Piece Rectangle Kiss-Lock Frames, Silver Electroplated Assorted Sizes (150–290mm)

These uxcell rectangle metal purse frames are five electroplated kiss-lock clasps in assorted lengths, built to fasten and finish handmade clutches, coin purses, and handbags.

Designed for makers and repairers, this 5-piece set includes rectangle lock frames in five different sizes (150mm, 180mm, 200mm, 250mm, 290mm). Each frame is stamped from iron and given an electroplated silver finish that resists tarnish and provides a smooth surface for sewing or gluing. Strong hinges allow the frame to open fully and close securely, while the slim profile keeps finished bags looking polished rather than bulky.

How do these frames make DIY purses easier to build?

The frames give a rigid, clean edge to a bag opening so fabric or leather keeps its shape and the clasp works reliably. They include pre-formed hinge and clasp mechanisms so you don’t need to construct an internal support structure separately.

• Five sizes to match different bag widths and styles.
• Flat 10mm depth suitable for thin to medium materials.
• Hinges allow up to 180° opening for easy access during assembly and use.
• Straight edge simplifies stitching, gluing, or wrapping fabric around the frame.

What materials and finish are used, and how durable are they?

Each frame is made from iron with an electroplated silver surface. The plating improves corrosion resistance and reduces surface wear compared with bare metal, extending useful life in everyday carry items.

• Iron core for structural strength and shape retention.
• Electroplated silver finish to resist oxidation and fading.
• Smooth finish reduces snagging when wrapping fabrics or stitching.
• Lightweight construction avoids weighing down small purses.

Which sewing and finishing techniques work best with these kiss-lock frames?

These rectangle frames are compatible with several common finishing methods: fabric-wrapping the frame and stitching through pre-drilled inner flanges, gluing a fitted lining in place, or anchoring with tiny rivets or tacks. The slim 10mm depth makes them ideal for clutches, coin purses, and medium-thickness leather with minimal bulk.

• Wrap-and-stitch: cover frame with fabric or yarn and sew through inner lip.
• Glued lining: use strong adhesive for a clean inside finish on non-bulky materials.
• Riveted attachment: small tacks or rivets work for leather and canvas projects.
• Removeable prototypes: test fit with scrap fabric before final assembly thanks to hinged opening.

Can these frames be used to repair existing purses or make multiple bag types?

Yes — the kit covers a range of common bag widths so it’s useful both for repairs and for building several styles. From evening clutches to coin purses and small tote tops, the variety of lengths helps match an appropriate frame to the project without custom metalwork.

• Repair: replace worn or bent frames on similarly sized bags.
• Varied projects: coin purses, clutches, small handbags, and evening bags.
• Consistent aesthetic: uniform silver finish across sizes keeps collections cohesive.
• Cost-effective: five frames in one pack for multiple projects or backup spares.

Who is this for: crafters, hobby sewists, leatherworkers, and small-batch bag makers who want reliable, ready-to-fit metal frames to speed production or restore vintage purses. If you build structured openings for handbags, want a low-profile metal closure that stitches or glues easily, or need a set of different widths to prototype new designs, this uxcell five-piece kit provides durable, tarnish-resistant frames ready for sewing, wrapping, or gluing.
