Kiwi Bagineers

We stock specialist bag making supplies and bag hardware, D rings, swivel snap hooks, rivets, adjustable bag sliders for straps and zippers for homemade handbags. We also carry sewing supplies for handmade wallets such as stabilizers and interfacing as well as specialist tools.

We also offer outstanding pre and post-sale customer service. Our aim is to let your creativity flow without hindrance and also provide that personal touch. We are available to offer advice to ensure that you not only make the correct purchase but also know the best way to use it in your bag making projects.

My name is Katey Rudlin and I am the founder of Kiwi Bagineers Craft Bag Making Supplies in New Zealand. This is my story.

I spent hours searching online for bag making hardware to use for my own projects and was constantly disappointed by the available quality and choice in New Zealand.

I decided to create my own online store where all things bag making is in one place and where Kiwi craft bag makers like you and I can happily shop for bag supplies at realistic prices.

Kiwi Bagineers eliminates the long wait that comes from ordering bag making supplies and hardware overseas, by stocking high-quality goods locally in New Zealand. We eliminate stress for customers because they know they are buying from a source they can trust and that returns and refunds are available.

All our bagmaking supplies and hardware are pre-tested and only those with the highest quality and usability are selected.

As well as products we have a learning centre where we post articles and links to tutorials to help with common bag sewing problems and where the customer can learn new skills as well as hacks and tips for better or easier ways of tackling tricky sewing tasks.

We also send out product-related emails as a post-sales service with advice on the best way to use the item purchased.

We love quilting clubs and giving talks about bagmaking. This is a free service, and we bring our pop-up shop with us so that members can get started on their new bag project immediately.

Kiwi Bagineers also runs bag making workshops in alliance with some of the best-known bag pattern designers. The fee for this service includes a hardware and stabilizer kit as well as the PDF bag pattern.
