Looking for eyelets for handbag

TeresaL

I am blue in the face trying to find eyelets or grommets to repair a favourite handbag. They are about 25mm in circumference and the hole is approximately 15mm. I have tried numerous bag manufacturers, repairers, hardware supplies etc. Can anyone recommend where I might try successfully or if someone can supply them. I know something like these are used for canvas tents etc but they need to be a bit more upmarket. Help anyone???

Have you tried any cobblers or shoe repair places? Ebay might be a good place to look also.

Thank you for reply. Have tried some shoe makers and eBay a no go.

Haberdashery shops sometimes have these, but haberdashers are few and far between these days.

There is one on Capel Street that also has craft supplies of various kinds ..W M Trimmings, 137 Capel St. They just might. 01 828 0301

(I am not connected, I have just copied this off the side of a paper bag which holds a recent fabric purchase)

Hickeys is another possibility.

Thank you for the name in Capel Street, I will try them. As you say, very few haberdashery shops now. I emailed Hickeys but got no reply but as I am in the country it is hard to go everywhere. T

Another one that comes to mind is this: They supply zips and do repairs.

Ken Trimmings

I'd really recommend phoning directly rather than emailing: speak to a human with your query - if they don't have it, they might know who has!
