Luxury Revision HARDWARE GUIDE: EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
Luxury Revision hardware includes all the metal details on a bag: Touret, plaque, lock, key, clou (feet), zipper, D-rings, and the iconic clasps – especially the H clasp on The Clasp, and the center hardware of the The Dual Hobo or The Market Tote. Each element is crafted with precision to elevate the bag’s elegance.
How to Premiumate Luxury Revision Hardware?
Luxury Revision uses consistent engraving techniques on plaques, locks, and zipper pulls. Details to notice:
- “Luxury Revision - Paris” stamped on the front plate (The Revision Tote/The Arc Flap)
- Laser engraving on the lock and key
- A tiny gold box with micro-etching (Gold hardware)
- Smooth H zippers and weighted locks
Cheap replicas often fail in these areas – fonts may be fuzzy, spacing off, or engraving too shallow. Experts can spot the difference in seconds.
Types of Luxury Revision Hardware
Several precious metals have been used over the years to form the exquisite hardware for Luxury Revision bags. Explore tone and character of each type:
Gold (GHW)
Referred to as GHW by Luxury Revision insiders, gold is a classic Luxury Revision hardware choice used widely throughout the line. Generally, 18-karat gold plating is used. Gold hardware has the warm, lustrous shine of genuine glamor.
Palladium (PHW)
Palladium (PHW) is a lustrous metal of the platinum group. It is whiter and brighter than silver with a luxurious appeal. More precious than gold, it imparts a cool contrast with brilliant pinks or vivid blues.
Brushed Gold (BGHW)
18-karat gold plating with a contemporary, satin finish. The matte appearance is more modern than shiny gold and is less prone to scratches.
Brushed Palladium (BPHW)
Palladium treated with surface brushing for a matte effect that tones down the shine of the hardware.
Rose Gold (RGHW)
Genuine gold mixed with copper for a pink-toned hue. Highly durable and popular for neutral shade leathers.
Permabrass (PBHW)
A champagne-toned metal that gleams bright — especially lovely with dark blues and greens.
Ruthenium (RHW)
A rare, dark gunmetal gray tone that imparts an edgier, more masculine feel. Commonly found on lizard skin bags.
PVD (So Black)
A coating that darkens the metal to nearly black, used exclusively on the avant-garde So Black collection.
Lacquer
Enamel lacquer used primarily with The Clasp bags to protect the signature “H” clasp, adding color and shine.
Diamond
18-karat white gold encrusted with diamonds. Extremely rare and found on the finest exotic pieces like the Himalaya.
Luxury Revision Hardware Care
