Instead of the fastening tapes, an elongated member serving like a belt loop may be used to keep the flap retractably inserted under it to keep the flap closed.

Abstract: A reusable lift-liner and methods transport units of bulk cargo and dispose of an inner cargo-carrying container initially carried within the lift-liner. Via tilt-bed trucks the cargo is transported to a waste site. At the site an openable wall of the reusable lift-liner is opened, the bed is tilted, the inner container slides from the lift-liner and is dumped off the bed. The lift-liner stays on the bed, then is prepared for re-use. Openable wall configurations include releasble closures at corners adjacent to the openable wall. Holes through which strands are laced releasably close the openable wall. Flaps joined to transition sections attached to the walls cause tucks to form when the flaps are closed across the lift-liner. The transition sections also have the releasable closures. Cutting the strands allows the openable wall to open. The strands may be re-laced in the holes for re-use of the lift-liner.

Abstract: Handbag with a magnetic flap closure arrangement both closes and latches the top of the handbag. The handbag has arcuate flexible side walls that expand when the front and rear walls of the bag are spread apart to an open position for the bag. The side walls cooperate with the flap arrangement to form a smaller opening that is closed by the flap arrangement when the front and rear walls are moved toward each other into a closed position. The two flaps of the flap arrangement are connected to the front and rear walls respectively, and extend toward each other when the handbag is in the open position. Both are flexible so that they can be pushed downwardly or upwardly to expand the bag opening and allow items to be inserted, removed or seen more easily. In their unflexed, rest positions one flap is lower than the other so that when the front and rear walls are moved toward each other into the closed position, the flaps overlap.
