The BV EESI Handle! (Brettuns Village Emergency Easy Snap-In) in THREE Colors! It's EESI!
This is a new item for us: The Brettuns Village Emergency Easy Snap In handle, and you're supposed to notice that the first letters form BV EESI and that's supposed to make you think this company can't spell EASY and that's fine.
The BV EESI handle is made from heavy harness leather, and it simply snaps into place. For this to work the rings on your case need to be no further apart than 7.5 inches, OK? Measure, please!.
BV EESI in Medium Brown (peanut butter color), cordovan (dark red-brown) or Black, $12.00 each, USA shipping included.
Snap-Handle - Available in Black or Tan
This style of handle has a nickel-plated snap at each end - just snap it onto the existing rings on your suitcase. Takes exactly 4 seconds too install.
The handle is made from premium vegetable-tanned leather. The tan handles are undyed, so you can stain them to match your case if you'd like, or use it the way it is.
Has leather cords inside, with the leather wrapped around, so it's pretty sturdy. Fits onto any suitcase that has two rings, as shown.
The rings need to be somewhere between 4.5 and 8 inches apart for this handle to fit. Our price includes postage costs for any USA location.

The straps are 5/8" wide at the point where they attach to the rings on your case. Made of premium vegetable-tanned leather with nickel-plated buckles.
Very sturdy with good lifting power. Available in tan only, but you can dye them any color you'd like - this leather accepts dye readily. $20 each, includes shipping to any location in the USA.

SCH-203
Stitched Leather Handle with Mounting Rings
In a very nice shade of medium brown, perhaps you'd call it British Tan, SCH-204 is a sturdy, stitched leather handle built around a metal band core.
Has a brass plated steel (gold color) rectangular ring at each end so that you can mount this to the existing brackets on your case. Inside dimension is 1 inch.
No brackets, or are you building a new case? Our LOOP8 rings fit fine, as shown in the photo on the right. You can purchase LOOP8 brackets here. Brackets are
NOT INCLUDED with this handle. The leather part of this handle measures 5-3/4" long. If you include the rectangular rings the overall length is 7-1/2".
Again, the rectangular brass rings are included and already attached to the handle. The brackets that hold the rings are NOT INCLUDED but are shown here so that
you can see what you need to get this attached to your case. Got it? Great! SCH-204 handle with rings; $20 each, USA shipping included.

Handles for Purses, Bags, Carrying Cases, and Long Stuff
Made in response to popular demand (two people), Brettuns Village now offers these Made-in-Maine leather purse/bag handles.
Made with a single layer of USA cowhide, medium brown, folded in half and stitched lengthwise around a nylon core that prevents stretching
and gives a round shape to the leather. Single solid brass rivet at each end to protect the ends of the stitching - this makes a big difference in
how long a handle like this will last. The leather is 1-5/16" wide before it gets folded/stitched, and the finished width is 9/16".
Overall length is 25-3/4", length of the stitched portion (rivet to rivet) is 20". The flat tab at each end is 1-5/16" wide by about 2" long.
You'll need to have a plan for how you intend to attach these to your purse, bag, case, nephew, etc. The intent was for them to be machine
stitched, but you can stitch them on by hand, or use any combination of glue, rivets, screw posts, etc. Get creative.
TH-19 handles $15 each, USA shipping included
