Clasp for a container, such as a bag or a leather article

A clasp for a container, comprising:

• an anchoring portion, for being fixed to a flap or a wall of said container;
• a wide portion, for preventing the clasp from moving apart from a buttonhole provided on another flap or wall of said container;
• and
• an intermediate connection portion, connected in a rotary manner, through a pair of hinges, to said anchoring portion and to said wide portion, respectively;
• said wide portion and said anchoring portion are configured to rotate relative to said intermediate portion, so that said clasp is able to assume:
• a compact condition, in which said wide portion and said anchoring portion are close to one another and are juxtaposed on opposite sides relative to said intermediate connection portion;
• an extended condition, in which said wide portion is substantially aligned relative to said intermediate connection portion, allowing said clasp to move through said buttonhole;
• a closing condition, in which said wide portion and said anchoring portion are arranged at a distance form one another, said wide portion being arranged in a direction that is substantially transverse to said intermediate connection portion, preventing said clasp from moving out of said buttonhole.
