Our suppliers and ourselves have been trying to absorb these costs as best we can but price rises are becoming inevitable. It might be advisable to check the web site for the most up to date price.

14 Aug 2006	Handbag Frames - just arrived. Antique finish bag frames to rivet onto a bag of your own design. Because these frames rivet on, there is no need for framing equiptment. All you need are standard two piece rivets. We have these in the main catalogue on the Leathergoods fittings page @ £7.50 each and £60 per 10.
