Question KeyFob Question

What do you use to attach the keyfob to your purse as a charm? If a lobster clasp, where did you find them? What size did you get?

I just read a post of someone who scratched there bag () and dont want to do that to my pond shoulder so thought I would ask before I go searching tomorrow.

You could probably find a lobster clip like that at a craft store, too.

my question about this is how wide does the clasp open? like does it open wide enough to go around all hardware? cause i have seen some that dont really open that wide,,, :(

^^ yeah you have to be careful about that

the new handbags actually have an extra O in the zipper part...its thin enough that if you wanted to loop your keyfob onto it you can

and hang it off from there.

bonus, if you have a carryall, you can just put it through the dogleash closure they have there...i've seen a lot of customers do that.

my thing is i really prefer to have my stuff dangle where it can be seen and not ont he zippeer ring which really winds up in my armpit or sort of hidden,,, :( thats why i look for things that are big enough to go around hardware like on the sides or straps of bags,,

i have found the only thing that works for me is i buy like a long chain of those ball and chain things
and then i cut it and attach the ends so that i can make it as long as i want (not too long but enough to go around and dangle from stuff)

and i get it in silver and gold so i can match whats on the keyfob,,,

but i wish i could use the lobster things too,,,

I use lobster claws (like what court posted). You can get a bunch of them in a package and Hobby Lobby or Micheals for next to nothing (even in silver or gold).

Silver-Coach's eBay store sells both the trigger-type and dogleash-type (called bolt-type) clips in a set that includes a keyring and a ball chain, and both types come in 2 sizes. They're available in both brass and nickle finishes.
http://stores.ebay.com/SCECKERT-SILV...QQftidZ2QQtZkm

The trigger type and the regular-sized bolt type should fit over even very thick Coach hardware.
