RIVET

RIVET

Rivets are commonly used in handbag products for both functional and decorative purposes. They provide reinforcement at high-stress areas—such as where different pieces of material join—and add a stylish, industrial touch to the design. Rivets also are small powerful components used in footwear manufacturing to join materials securely.

RIVET

Rivet, also known as pocket studs, decorative studs, are one of the most common metal fastening accessories in the clothing, footwear, leather goods, and bag industries. Invented by Jacob Davis, a 19th-century tailor, who noticed miners and laborers often complaining about the easily torn edges of their trouser pockets, he conceived of using metal rivets to reinforce these stress points, thus inventing modern jeans.
Today, the primary purpose of rivets

  • Strength reinforcement: Especially suitable for high-stress areas such as pocket corners and side seams of jeans, effectively preventing fabric tearing.
  • Aesthetic and decorative: As an exposed decorative component, rivets can greatly enhance the appearance and design details of a product.

HOLLOW RIVET

HOLLOW RIVET

Hollow rivets are common metal fasteners. They feature a hollow core (either semi-hollow or fully hollow) and are secured by flanging or curling the rivet's back. This structure reduces forming force and damage to the base material, while offering advantages such as lightweight, stable strength, and aesthetic appeal.
The rivet's head can be customized with a flat, round, or decorative design. It is widely used in apparel, footwear, leather goods, and various bags.

BIFURCATED RIVET

BIFURCATED RIVET

A split rivet (also called a split-tail or bifurcated rivet) features two pronged “legs” at the tail. The design offers greater penetrability; during setting, the legs splay outward to bite into the substrate. It can be fixed without a backing die, providing strong grip where layer thickness varies or with fibrous materials (cardboard/fibreboard/fabric).
