Oh SNAP!

The hook and loop fasteners of Velcro are not for everyone. 

As any noble "Lord" could attest to, the term "lady" is meant to express an air of elegance and class. Ladies do not want to tear a run in their stockings. Ladies want to preserve their favorite sweater for many more winters. Ladies want their shoulder bags to be fabulous but not to ruin anymore of their ladylike attire.

As an alternative, Die at the Helm is introducing the option of having a snap closure...

I listened to the wailing cries of, "Why do all the bags have to have Velcro?"

And I found an answer, THEY DON'T.

Instead there can be two little elegant and ornate snaps that securely fasten the flap to the body of the bag.

However, I would like to point out that is was Velcro that attached the phasers and communicators to the various uniform belts and trousers of Captain James T. Kirk. Snaps can not fully replace the bond we have in our hearts for Velcro. It is just a nice alternative.
