Construction Detail: How to choose the right accessory
Choosing the ideal handle for a handmade bag requires attention to structural details and materials, to ensure that the weight is distributed correctly without deforming the body of the bag.
1. Dimensions and Structural Balance
With an overall length of 69 cm and a width of 2 cm, Sahel handles offer extremely comfortable shoulder or hand carry. The two fastening bases measure 8x5 cm and are equipped with internal reinforcement that prevents structural sagging, evenly distributing the load across the body of the bag.
2. Pre-punching and Attachment Setup
The bases feature regular and defined perimeter pre-punching, specifically designed to facilitate the passage of the most common bag cords. This feature allows you to anchor the handles directly to the bag structure using a yarn needle or by slip stitching with a crochet hook, ensuring a tension-proof hold.
3. Premium Materials and Finishes
The Italian eco-leather used stands out for its perforated effect (or aesthetic micro-perforation), which visually reduces wear and small contact scratches. The polished silver metal details add a modern touch of light and integrate perfectly with any style of bag, from the sportiest to the most elegant.
Compatibility and Care: using it in your bag project
To preserve the beauty of Sahel handles over time, it is essential to follow specific care instructions for eco-leather and metal parts:
- Cleaning the eco-leather: Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. In case of stains, use a cloth slightly dampened with water and mild soap, dabbing gently without rubbing hard to avoid damaging the surface finish or the stitching holes.
- Metal details care: To prevent oxidation and maintain the brilliance of the silver finishes, avoid contact with perfumes, solvents, or persistent moisture. Dry immediately with a microfiber cloth if exposed to water.
- Matching with yarns: These handles are color-calibrated to blend with structured cords like Thai Sublime and the soft Pandoro Queen. We recommend using the same yarn as the bag to sew the anchoring stitches, ensuring visual continuity.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you attach the Sahel handles to the bag without damaging the eco-leather?
The handles feature pre-punched bases. We recommend using a round-tip yarn needle and the same cord used for the bag (such as Thai Sublime), gently passing through the pre-made holes to avoid cutting or tearing the eco-leather.
Are Sahel handles suitable for heavy bags?
Yes, thanks to the 8x5 cm reinforced bases that distribute the weight over a wide surface. For very large bags, we recommend inserting an internal reinforcement (such as salpa leather board or thermosetting mesh) between the bag and the base of the handle before securing it.
Does the silver finish of the metal details tend to tarnish?
The metal details are treated with a high-quality protective electroplating. To prevent natural oxidation over time, avoid prolonged exposure to moisture, salt air, and harsh chemicals, cleaning them periodically with a dry cloth.
Can I machine wash the bag with the Sahel handles attached?
No, machine washing is absolutely not recommended. The eco-leather and metal details could be damaged or lose their shine. We recommend spot hand-washing the body of the bag, protecting the handles with protective wrap.
Which Tessiland yarns match the colors of the Sahel handles perfectly?
The Sahel handles are part of the Color Match line, specifically designed to coordinate with the shades of the Thai Sublime cords and the Pandoro Queen yarn, ensuring an impeccable color match.
Are the holes on the bases large enough for a crochet hook to pass through?
The holes are designed for yarn needles or very thin crochet hooks (up to 2mm) to start the slip stitch. For thicker yarns, we recommend using a yarn needle through the guide holes.
Is the perforated effect of the eco-leather through-and-through or only superficial?
The perforated effect is a superficial aesthetic texture that does not go through the entire thickness of the eco-leather, thus ensuring that the handle structure remains solid, waterproof, and resistant to tension.
