The Loop Welded Nickel Plated is a cornerstone component in professional leathercraft and saddlery work across New Zealand. Built for strength, precision, and durability, this welded loop provides a secure and stylish way to connect, reinforce, and finish leather straps, belts, bags, and harnesses.

Each loop is individually welded and nickel plated, guaranteeing that it will hold under tension without opening, bending, or deforming. The welding process creates a seamless joint that enhances both the look and the performance of your finished product. Whether you’re crafting a custom belt, restoring horse tack, or creating stylish handbags, this component adds a touch of reliability and refinement.

Designed to stand up to New Zealand’s coastal weather conditions, where humidity and salt air can corrode untreated metal, the nickel plating offers a robust barrier against rust and oxidation. Its bright silver finish delivers a sleek, professional appearance that complements any leather tone—from pale natural hides to deep chocolate and black.

Perfect for:

• Leather belt manufacturers
  
• Saddlers and equestrian tack makers
  
• Handbag and luggage artisans
  
• Outdoor gear manufacturers
  
• DIY hobbyists who value strength and shine in every piece
  

Every Loop Welded Nickel Plated unit undergoes strict quality control to ensure accurate sizing and a polished surface that’s smooth to the touch—protecting your leather from abrasion while adding sophistication to the overall design.
