The Merchant Mills Factotum Hardware Kit is the essential companion for anyone sewing the versatile Factotum bag pattern.
Known for its practical, “jack-of-all-trades” design, the Factotum requires specific, high-quality hardware to function as a reliable everyday carry. This kit takes the hassle out of your sewing project by providing every metal component in one convenient package.
Kit includes:
2 x 1″ nickel loops.
4 x 9mm nickel rivets.
1 x 30cm ecru nickel zip.
1 x 1″ split cowhide leather strap.
The hardware features a classic finish that complements the understated, utilitarian style Merchant Mills is famous for. Using this dedicated kit ensures that your hardware is perfectly scaled to the pattern’s strap widths and attachment points, preventing the fabric from bunching or sliding.
Whether you’re making a Factotum for commuting, shopping, or as a tool bag, these sturdy components provide the professional finish and longevity you expect from a handmade heirloom. Invest in quality hardware to match your craftsmanship and create a bag that lasts a lifetime.
This kit includes the nickel hardware and leather for our Factotum pattern. It does not include the pattern or fabric.
