Bag Flaps and Side Panels for Crochet Bags
Bag Flaps and Side Panels for Crochet Bags — Faux Leather
Bag flaps and side panels for crochet bags — the accessories that give character and structure to your creation. The flap is the front panel that closes the bag, available in faux leather with magnetic, turn-lock or clip closure. The perforated side panels are faux leather boards to attach to the sides, giving volume and rigidity to soft bags. Over 30 colour options, Made in Italy from the manufacturer. From €4.90.
How to choose between a flap, a panel and a side
Bag flap — the faux leather piece applied to the front of the bag that acts as its closure. Three closure systems exist: magnetic (the fastest, used by the Globo and World), turn-lock (the classic rotating button seen on fashion bags, used by Cecilia and Soho), clip with inserts (the Levante). The shape — round, oval or rectangular — is chosen to match the bag's style.
Side panels — the boards attached to the sides of the bag to give it volume and rigidity. The Stilondas panels come with holes already punched: stitch them from the outside with a crochet hook or needle and thread, exactly like laser-cut bases. They are the ideal solution for soft bags where you want a defined shape. Standard size 18×24 cm.
Laser-cut wooden flaps — if you are looking for decorative wooden engraved flaps, browse the collection in the Laser Bases and Flaps section.

What is a bag flap for a crochet bag?
A bag flap (or "patta") is the faux leather panel applied to the front of the bag that acts as its closure. It is sewn or glued to the bag body at the upper front edge, so that the closure system (magnetic, turn-lock or clip) keeps the bag shut. It is the accessory that gives a handmade bag a professional, structured look — the kind you see on fashion bags.
How do you attach a flap to a crochet bag?
Faux leather flaps are attached by sewing the top edge to the bag before closing the last rows. Use strong sewing thread or leather glue for temporary positioning. Some flaps — like the Cecilia and the Soho — have a shaped profile that makes alignment easy: just centre them on the bag and sew along the edge. The closure system (magnet, turn-lock) is already built in — no extra assembly needed.
What is the difference between a bag flap and a side panel?
The flap is the front closure of the bag (the panel that opens and closes). The side panels are the boards on the sides of the bag that define its structure and volume. The Stilondas panels come with pre-punched holes and are stitched directly onto the bag fabric with a crochet hook or needle and thread. Many crochet bags use both: side panels for shape, a flap for closure.
Can a bag flap be used on a crochet backpack too?
Yes — flaps are versatile. The Globo and World flaps work well on crochet backpacks too: the magnetic closure is strong enough for a small shoulder backpack. For a larger backpack, the Cecilia flap with its turn-lock closure is more robust. The key is choosing a flap proportionate to the front pocket of the backpack.
