Could anyone tell me if they know a source for magnetic closures. I am looking to put such a closure on a cape. I think that would look better for this style than a button. Can someone help? Thanks

Linda McGehee has some for purses that might work for you. Here is her website. http://www.ghees.com/
what is the style? capes usually have ties, hooks, or buttons, either decorative or subtle.
i wouldn't trust a maganetic closure on a cape. if you want invisible, try a concealed large hook and eye. i used to own a vintage opera cape (victorian), and all the closures were the sturdy oversized hooks that are still available. the wire was completely wrapped in durable thread, which gave it a snug feel when latched.

How about a beautiful frog?
