Vacuum storage bags

I have several bags for storing my spare duvets but it seems the sealing clips are missing 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’ve tried doing it by hand but they just open again so I can’t vacuum the air out.
Any ideas other than buying new bags, as you don’t seem to be able to buy spares clips.

Hope I’ve made sense!

I understand what you mean. But I dont know the answer, so am bumping for you.

I'm presuming that you've contacted the Manufacturer , obviously- no offence!
Other than that I've no suggestions.

You only need one clip, which you can add or lift off as needed. I have a few bags without clips and that is how I re-use them

Do the bags have a channel along the top on one side with a corresponding plastic lip on the other side that fits into it? If so, I've found that starting at one end engaging the lip in the channel and running my finger along seals it up. A bit like those freezer bags that you can buy with a similar sealing system.

I have no clue where they were bought but thanks anyway.

Ah, sorry - I see that you've tried doing it by hand with no success. How about using a freezer clip along the seal, pressing it together firmly?
