Spring Purse Frame for Bags and Clutches
Quick overview: Spring purse frame for crochet bags and clutches: a metal frame with an internal spring that slots between the two edges of the bag opening. Opens by pressing the sides, closes with a click. Shapes: classic arch, rectangular arch and wave. Lightweight aluminium, multiple sizes and colours. For other click-clack closures see the parent category.
A spring purse frame is the metal frame that gives a clutch or bag its signature opening: press the sides, the spring opens and the bag gapes wide; release and the spring snaps shut with a click. It's the classic closure of vintage clutches, coin purses and clutch bags.
It works by slotting the two edges of the crochet work into the channels along the frame: the fabric slides into the groove and locks by friction. No glue, no sewing — the frame holds the fabric by friction fit.

Frequently asked questions
How do you fit the fabric into the frame?
Open the spring by pressing the sides, slide the fabric edge into the groove (the channel along the frame) and release the spring. The fabric locks in by friction.
What yarn works for clutches with a purse frame?
A fine cotton or slim cord that fits into the frame groove — thick yarns won't fit. Cotton no. 3-5 and slim cords work well. Recommended hook: 2-3.5 mm.
