Composition and dimensions

The wire is made ofpolyester, wound on a reel of30 m. A cord is a thick, twisted thread, i.e. made of strands twisted together: it resists tension better than a thin thread and leaves a more visible seam. TheColour No. 406, a dark and warm brown, matches the shades of unbleached, camel or khaki. It is sold by the piece.

Directions for use

• For a strap or a handle, stitch several trips back and forth on the same line for reinforcement without changing thread.
• When attaching a four-hole button, pass the wire crosswise or parallel, then finish with a rod under the button.
• Do a tension test on a fall: a dark brown camouflages small irregularities, but not the fabric gathers.

Combine it with brass buckles or rivets and a cotton strap for an understated bag. Matching wooden buttons reinforce this natural palette.
