Construction Detail: How to choose the right accessory
The choice of the flap defines the structure and longevity of your handmade bag. Here are the technical specifications of the Cecilia Flap to evaluate its inclusion in your next project.
1. Dimensions and Structural Balance
With its 22 cm width and 17 cm height, the Cecilia Flap is ideal for medium-sized bags (such as bowling bags or structured shoulder bags). The presence of the black eco-leather inner lining and the upper handle with riveted rings ensures that the weight of the bag is evenly distributed, preventing deformation of the bag body.
2. Calibrated Holes for Manual Work
The flap features pre-punched holes of two different sizes: the 4 mm upper holes are ideal for direct anchoring to the bag body using the most popular bag yarns (such as Swan cord or polyester), while the 3 mm holes on the lower tab facilitate the precise attachment of the turn lock closure.
3. Materials and Supporting Hardware
The perforated-effect eco-leather offers excellent resistance to wear and tension. The turn lock closure and the handle rings are made of metal with a polished silver finish, ensuring a secure hold and an elegant color contrast.
Compatibility and Care: using it in your bag project
To preserve the beauty of the Cecilia Flap over time, it is important to follow some specific precautions for the materials it is made of:
- Cleaning the eco-leather: Dust regularly with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. In case of stains, use a cloth slightly dampened with water and a drop of mild soap, dabbing gently without rubbing so as not to damage the perforated finish or the perimeter stitching. Absolutely avoid harsh solvents or degreasers.
- Metal hardware care: To prevent oxidation and micro-scratches on the turn lock closure and riveted rings, clean the metal parts with a dry cotton cloth. Avoid contact with perfumes, excessive moisture, or chemical agents.
- Yarn compatibility: This flap pairs perfectly with structured polyester or nylon cords (recommended thickness 2-3 mm) that easily pass through the 4 mm holes, ensuring a solid and clean joint without straining the punched holes.

✨ TESSILAND STUDIOFrequently Asked Questions
What yarn thickness is recommended for attaching the Cecilia Flap?
The upper holes have a diameter of 4 mm. We recommend using bag cords with a thickness between 2 mm and 3 mm, worked with an appropriate crochet hook, to ensure smooth passage without deforming the eco-leather.
Is the metal twist lock already mounted on the flap?
The upper part of the lock is pre-attached to the flap. The female part of the twist lock, however, must be applied to the body of the crocheted bag using the included metal prongs and backing plate, utilizing the 3 mm guide holes for precise positioning.
Can I add a shoulder strap to this flap?
Yes, the top handle is equipped with riveted rings to which you can directly attach the clasp hooks of an eco-leather shoulder strap or a metal chain. Alternatively, you can insert metal bridge connectors on the sides of the bag.
Does the black inner lining cover the handle's attachment points?
Yes, the black eco-leather inner lining cleanly covers the back of the handle rivets, ensuring an impeccable aesthetic finish even when the bag is opened.
How can I prevent the 4 mm holes from stretching with the weight of the bag?
The eco-leather used is high-density and tensile-resistant. For optimal stability, we recommend crocheting a round of slip stitches to reinforce the edge of the bag before joining it to the flap.
Is the Cecilia flap rigid or flexible?
The flap has a semi-rigid structure: it is flexible enough to bend easily for closure, but sufficiently supported thanks to the double layer (outer and inner eco-leather) to maintain its shape without sagging.
Do the 3 mm holes for the lock require special tools for assembly?
No, no special tools are required. The prongs of the twist lock pass through the pre-existing holes and bend over the back of the metal backing plate simply by applying pressure with your fingers or with the help of flat-nose pliers protected by a cloth.
