High-Quality Purse Hardware That Holds Up
When it comes to handmade bags, the right purse making supplies make all the difference—not just in appearance, but in long-term functionality. That’s why we’ve stocked our collection with hardware that’s as durable as it is stylish. Whether you’re designing a sturdy backpack or a delicate clutch, we’ve got the pieces to help you build it right.
Our purse hardware selection features premium materials like nickel-free metals and polished finishes that resist tarnishing. You’ll find everything from magnetic snaps and D-rings to swivel clasps, slider buckles, and grommets. Many items come in coordinating colors and finishes, making it easy to create a polished, professional look without the guesswork.
We carry complete hardware kits from trusted brands like Sallie Tomato, allowing you to quickly gather everything needed for a project with confidence in compatibility.
These kits eliminate the stress of matching individual parts while also helping you follow patterns without missing a step. Whether you prefer gold, antique brass, gunmetal, or silver, our hardware options are designed to elevate the craftsmanship of your finished product.
Function is just as important as style, and that’s where our hardware stands out. You won’t find flimsy clasps or hard-to-turn buckles here—our pieces are designed to open smoothly, close securely, and hold up over time. That means less frustration while sewing and more durability for everyday wear and tear.
Missouri Star Quilt Company is proud to support every stage of your bag-making journey. With our high-quality, tested hardware as the foundation, your handcrafted bags will not only look beautiful—they’ll stand the test of time.

Mix and Match Materials for Custom Creations
One of the most frustrating parts of starting a new bag project? Piecing together all the right components—straps, interfacing, hardware, and fabric—from different sources. Too often, sewists find themselves juggling mismatched parts, inconsistent quality, or missing elements that bring their creative momentum to a halt.
At Missouri Star Quilt Company, we’ve solved that problem with a wide range of bag making supplies designed to work together seamlessly. Whether you’re going for a casual cotton tote or a high-end faux leather handbag, our materials are curated to offer flexibility and function—without the guesswork.
Want to customize your strap length or style? We carry purse strapping in cotton webbing, faux leather, and cork, available by the yard or as part of a complete kit. Match it with adjustable sliders, D-rings, and magnetic snaps for a truly personalized finish. Our wide array of color options makes it easy to coordinate materials or create standout contrast, depending on your design vision.
We also offer premium interfacing and stabilizers, perfect for adding structure and polish to your finished piece. Whether your pattern calls for soft flexibility or a firm silhouette, you’ll find just what you need here, with guidance on which materials suit which project types best.
For the ultimate convenience, we stock bag sewing patterns designed specifically to pair with our materials. That means no more guesswork about what kind of zipper or strap length will work—it’s all clearly outlined so you can focus on creating, not troubleshooting.
With a complete lineup of fabric, hardware, strapping, and stabilizers, Missouri Star Quilt Company is your go-to for building custom bags from the ground up. Skip the sourcing stress and dive into the fun part—making something that’s beautifully, uniquely yours.
