Description
An aluminum alloy chain for handbag and shoulder straps, with a link pitch of 15 x 13 mm. Anodized rather than plated — the colour is grown into the metal surface instead of sitting on top of it, which is why it does not flake at the link joints where a plated chain rubs itself raw.
Why Aluminum Instead of Zinc or Iron
Weight. Aluminum is roughly a third the weight of zinc for the same link size. On a large tote or a shoulder strap, that difference is felt by the customer every time they pick the bag up.
Colour stability. Anodizing holds colour through flexing and abrasion. Plated chains lose finish first at the link contact points, which is exactly where buyers look.
No rust. Aluminum does not rust. For humid markets and coastal shipping, that removes an entire class of complaint.

What We Ask Before Quoting
Chain length per piece, link style, finish colour, and whether the chain needs end caps or connector rings. Send a photo of the bag strap if you are matching an existing chain — link shape varies more than buyers expect between suppliers.
