Hex frames are architecture that, once sewn into the top of a bag, give it crisp shaping and structure as well as a tightly closed top. Open the top and it springs open and stays open until you close it. See the beautiful results that the structure of a hex frame can give to your bag in the Bettie Boop Bag.

Bag makers of all sorts will want to experiment with the hex frame: from the classic handbag in dupioni silk, to a fashion forward clutch in leather or felt, to an accessory bag made of oil cloth or a cute print, to knitting or crafting tote made of knitted or industrial felt.
