Press button closure for crochet bags — the classic flap-bag closure. Practical, sturdy and easy to fit. Available with prongs (no sewing), sew-on and mechanical fixing. Prym and Made in Italy design in silver, gold, antique brass metal, eco-leather and genuine leather.

Press button vs flap closure: what is the difference?

The term flap closure refers to the same type as the press button — it is the technical name. In both cases it consists of two elements (male + female) that click together. The main variants:

• With prongs: applied by folding prongs into the work, no sewing needed
• Sew-on: stitched with needle and thread directly onto the fabric or lining
• Mechanical: screwed or clipped without sewing or folding prongs — thicker but very solid

Are press button and flap closures the same thing?

Yes, they are two names for the same closure type: two elements (male and female) that click together. The term "flap" comes from its classic use on school bags, but the mechanism is identical. In this section you will find both versions: sew-on, with prongs and mechanical.

How do you fit a press button closure on a crochet bag?

The easiest method is the prong version: position the two elements at the opening of the bag, then fold the prongs inward through the lining. For the sew-on version, use sturdy thread and stitch firmly around the fixing ring. In all cases, always work on a lining or reinforcement — never directly onto the yarn.

What is the difference between Prym and the Italian design models?

Prym is a historic German brand specialised in quality haberdashery: a guarantee of reliability. Tessiland's Made in Italy design models offer more distinctive shapes and finishes — bees, decorative details, unique profiles — for those who want the closure to be an aesthetic feature of the bag as well.

Can press button closures be used on large bags and backpacks?

Yes, but choose the right version. For large bags carrying heavy loads, opt for the mechanical version or the 4-ring snap — more robust than the standard sew-on. For clutches and evening bags, the classic sew-on is more than sufficient and takes up less space.
