Invisible protection for the details that matter
Your hardware tells a story. Pristine clasps and unblemished turnlocks speak to how carefully you have cherished each piece. Our Hardware Protectors ensure that story continues, with seamless defence against scratches, scuffs and everyday wear.
Made to measure. Each protector is designed in-house by our own team to fit the exact hardware of your bag, across over 250 luxury styles. Applied invisibly, they preserve that fresh-from-the-boutique appearance while keeping every clasp and lock fully functional.
- Preserve resale value - protected hardware keeps your bag's investment worth
- Carry your collection with confidence - no more turnlock scratches or zipper scuffs
- Extend its lifespan - protection that keeps hardware looking pristine for years
- Invisible by design - virtually invisible once applied and settled, so your hardware looks exactly as it should
Choose your level of protection
Whether you are protecting your first luxury piece or your entire collection, we have engineered two distinct options, both designed in-house at our Handbag HQ in England with meticulous precision. Each protector set includes Dust Stickies, Placement Tabs, Applicator Assisters and an additional practice set. Premium sets also include precision tweezers.
Original Protectors
Our trusted foundation. Durable two-layer construction that collectors have relied on since day one for dependable, everyday protection.
Premium Protectors - world-first technology
Two years in development. An advanced three-layer design that is virtually invisible, self-healing, and remarkably effortless to apply and remove. Every Premium set includes precision tweezers, so you can position each protector exactly without touching the adhesive. The most sophisticated hardware protection available anywhere.
Choose Original if you want proven, reliable protection at excellent value - perfect for everyday bags and building your protection routine.
Choose Premium if you want the absolute best for high-investment pieces - near-invisible protection with effortless application and self-healing technology.
How to apply
- Buff the hardware clean with a soft, dry cloth, then use the Dust Stickies in your pack to lift away any remaining dust. The hardware must be completely clean and dry.
- Practise first with the practice set included in your pack.
- Choose your method. Applicator Assisters are ideal for larger or more intricate pieces of hardware. Placement Tabs are best for hardware with raised sections or detailing. With Premium, use the precision tweezers to lift and position each protector without touching the adhesive.
- Line up the protector, smooth it into place and leave it to settle. Our protectors are self-levelling and become even less visible over time.
Detailed instructions are included in every pack, and our application videos on this page walk you through each step.
Please note: our protectors are designed for the standard hardware shown in the product images. If your hardware is matte, coloured, enamel or another finish, or already scratched, contact us with a photograph before purchasing. Brand and style names are for identification purposes only. Our products are not endorsed by, nor affiliated with, any brand.

Would highly recommend using the hardware protectors for your luxury bags. You cannot tell it is on unless you get really close to look at it, they are not peeling off and it was a breeze putting them on. They provide adequate instructions and guides to help get you a perfect fit.

What are handbag hardware protectors?
Clear, custom-fit shields designed to protect the metal hardware on your luxury handbags from scratches, scuffs and wear. Think of them like a screen protector, but for your handbag's hardware, made specifically to preserve the beauty and value of your designer bags.
How do they work?
Our protectors adhere seamlessly to your handbag's hardware, creating a layer of protection against everyday use. They are thin, durable and fully removable, so your hardware stays pristine without altering the look of your bag. We design each protector in-house and every set is made and packed by our team at our HQ in England.
Which set fits my bag?
Each set is named for the bag it fits, and cut to that bag's exact hardware. If you are unsure, send us a photograph of your hardware and our team will confirm the right set before you order.
Original or Premium - which should I choose?
Original is our trusted two-layer foundation - proven, reliable protection at excellent value, perfect for everyday bags and building your protection routine.
Premium is our advanced three-layer design, two years in development - virtually invisible, self-healing, and remarkably effortless to apply and remove. Every Premium pack also includes precision tweezers for exact placement. Choose Premium for high-investment pieces and near-invisible protection.
