What's in a name -- Purse Closure

I'm looking for a purse closure, and can't find anything searching for it on
eBay. What I'm looking for is not a jaws and clasp/snap, but 2 strips of
spring steel that you open by pushing the ends in. Know what I mean? Know
what to look under?

Thanks,

Tina

I know exactly what you mean, and I don't remember what they're called
either. However, I bought mine from the Clotilde catalog or
http://www.clotilde.com/cl/

Ah! They're colled spring action frames. Clotilde has them in 12"
(handbag) and 17" (portfolio) sizes.

Tandy Leather used to sell small, coin purse-sized ones a dog's age ago,
but I dunno anymore.

Thanks. Those ones are too big, but at least I have a name for them now.

Thanks, Denise,

That's exactly it, They even have it in 7". But whew, $6.50. Still, what
with the work I've put into it, it might be worth it.

Glad I could help Tina. Clasps are always expensives... look at those
sew-on frames for the knitted purses! share pictures of your purse when
you are done... purses are one of my passion.
