Ready-made handle
What are the benefits of a T-lace end?
A "T-lace" is a fastener attached to the end of a cord. AWIH uses it to provide an aesthetic finish to a completed bag handle. This solution simplifies the preparation of the handle for assembly and eliminates the need for traditional knots.
- a pre-cut length of cord, ready for assembly,
- an aesthetic and consistent finish for the handle,
- T-lace provided in transparent (clear) as standard,
- handles with a black T-lace are available upon request.
