I have fallen in love with ITH bags, and also KAM snaps. Now I see several bags with "tuck locks" and when I look for them to purchase online, the descriptions always say for leather purses, and they are on the pricey side. If you use tuck locks on fabric, where do you buy them? Thanks in advance for your help.

I bought mine from ebay,they came from China and take 4-6 weeks to arrive in the mail. They were fairly cheap but I bought them over a year ago and since then it looks like the prices have gone up. How many do you need?

Just a couple to play with, really. I've been looking on Stickbaer and they have some cute bags with those.

Parkermom, I should have read Bev's comment before I commented.

Bev you always point us in the right direction, thanks once again.

I haven't used these myself, but I would think it would be comparable to attaching a magnetic snap. The main thing is marking correctly for placements to match...I am like you and would like to try, but they are costly, every where I have looked. Good luck and if you try them, let me know how it works out for you.-Toogie

Have you tried Aliexpress or DGate, I use aliexpress often usually with free delivery.
