If the leather or stitching is the problem, a good leather shop or maybe even a cobbler can repair or fabricate them for you. If it's the hardware, honestly I don't know.

My suggestion is to look in thrift stores, antique shops, eBay, etc., for a real cheap, beat up, bag and cannibalize it for the handles.

Yeah, it's the actual hardware I need. I've looked at EBay and the antique stores in my area and can't find what I want. I'm doing a special project and only need one. I'd like a leather handle but I might have to us a vinyl/plastic one in that same style.:cry:

Thrift stores have these things fairly often.

I was curious to see what the very first thread in the General Attire and Accoutrements section was.

Imagine my surprise to see that it related to - luggage handles...
