HINGE
|
|
A device that allows the pivoting of two parts away from
or toward each other. Hinges are usually used on hard sided
luggage and allow one side panel to act as a lid when the
case is set flat. Handbag styles with lids will have some
sort of hinge, whether a flexible hinge made with a
continuous leather strip or fabric, or jointed hinges made
of metal or plastic. Some hard-sided handbag styles will
have hinges at the bottom and open/close by pulling apart or
pushing together the front and back panels. "Ball and
socket" closures are mounted on frames made of metal or
plastic that has round hinges at each side.

HOLOGRAM
|
|
A piece of photosensitive material photographically
developed with a light reflecting image. Instead of tags
printed or stamped with serial numbers on authentic handbag
designs, recent high-end designs have tags with tiny
holograms imprinted with a serial number. These hologram
tags are much harder to imitate by manufacturers of fake
handbags, than the leather, metal, or cloth tags with serial
numbers.
