Transform your handmade pouches with these extra small, cat-shaped strap attachments from Japanese craft brand Hamalabo. Designed to connect shoulder straps to bag bodies, these dark brown pieces bring a charming feline accent to custom bags and pouches. Each pack includes two cat-shaped leather attachments and two antique gold D-rings, perfect for crafting a cute shoulder bag.
Hamalabo spent ten months refining this original design, working through sizing, mold making, and prototyping to achieve the ideal balance of charm and function. The pre-punched sewing holes are arranged so your stitches form a cat shape as you hand-sew them onto your fabric. Match your thread to the dark brown leather for a subtle finish, or pick a bright contrasting thread to make the stitching pop. These attachments work especially well with bag frames and clasps between 10cm and 18cm.
The cat piece measures 3.2cm at its widest point, narrowing to 1.5cm where it holds the metal D-ring. Total connected length reaches 5.8cm, while the folded cat face section measures 2cm.
If a pre-punched hole retains a tiny bit of material, a quick poke with an awl or needle will clear it right away.
Set of two extra-small cat-shaped attachments for adding a shoulder strap to a shoulder pouch. Each set includes 2 faux leather cat-shaped tabs and 2 D-rings in dark brown and antique gold.

Some holes may not be fully punched through and can be opened with an awl or needle.
