The Merchant Mills Francli Day Pack Hardware Kit in Brass is the definitive component set for creating the ultimate outdoor-inspired backpack.
This kit was developed as part of the collaboration with Francli Craftworks, ensuring every piece of metalwork meets the functional demands of a rugged day pack. Brass hardware offers a timeless, heritage aesthetic that develops a beautiful patina over time, making it the perfect match for organic canvases and waxed fabrics.
The kit includes all of the below, providing the structural integrity needed for adjustable straps and secure closures.
2 x 30cm Ecru/Brass Zip
4 x Ladder Locks
2 x G Hooks (these G Hooks all face the same way and are not sold in mirrored pairs – so if you are making the Francli bag you’ll need to flip one over when attaching it)
2 x Old Brass Cord Stops
1 x Old Brass Cord Lock
Each component is manufactured to a high standard, offering a smooth finish that won’t snag your fabric but will hold fast under tension. Using the official hardware kit ensures that your Day Pack looks exactly as intended—professional, sturdy, and stylish. It eliminates the frustration of searching for matching hardware in various sizes, giving you a coordinated look for your handmade gear. Ideal for adventurers and makers alike, this kit provides the essential “skeleton” for your pack, ensuring it is ready for any journey.
This kit includes the nickel hardware for our Francli Day Pack pattern. It does not include the pattern, fabric or webbing.
