kapturs

Kapturs is a term that can refer to several distinct entities, primarily a surname of Polish origin and a type of small, often decorative, metal fastener. As a surname, Kapturs is found in Poland and among Polish diaspora communities worldwide. Individuals bearing this surname are part of a larger family heritage with roots in Central Europe.

In a different context, kapturs are commonly known as rivets or studs, particularly those used in leatherwork or upholstery. These fasteners typically consist of two parts: a post and a cap. The post is inserted through materials, and the cap is then pressed or hammered onto the post, creating a secure and often decorative connection. Kapturs are frequently seen on bags, belts, jackets, and furniture, adding both structural integrity and aesthetic appeal. They come in a variety of sizes, materials, and decorative finishes, allowing for diverse applications. The term itself suggests a small, capped projection.
