Our hardware consists of a brass, or nickel plated brass ring that slips over a nylon closure. Our signature handcrafted logo brands each bag, adorned with nine genuine Swarovski Crystals.
We have always used only 9 Crystals in our branding, as we believe the wearers of our
handbags are, "dressed to the nines"
For security purposes, our flaps are closed tightly
over our branding closure. Just squeeze on left side
of bag, as shown in the diagram, and pull down on the
flap. It will release easily.
"Reference after reference failed to turn up a definite origin for the expression, although they all seem to agree on it's meaning. Describing someone as being "dressed to the nines" implies the donning of expensive clothing, jewelry and other fashionable accessories, most likely for a formal dance or theatrical performance. Women of the middle ages would often wear fashionable gloves as part of their formal wear. These gloves were said to contain nine buttons from wrist to elbow, so if a woman was said to be "dressed to the nines" she would be wearing her most formal evening wear." Quote from: wiseGEEK.COM
