A concho is a decoration that you can put on your leather creations .

Etymologically, "concho" comes from the Spanish "concha" which means "shell": one of the first materials used to make the accessory.
Several types of conchos exist: to lace, to rivet and to screw. The conchos are mainly offered in aged silver finish (for a more rock style) but other finishes are increasingly available: aged brass, old copper, nickel-plated...

Pay attention to the thickness of the leather, it will depend on the length of the concho rod (indicated on the item sheets). 
SCREW-IN CONCHOS
The screw-on conchos are simply attached with a screw, which must be screwed in with a flat screwdriver.
