YKK

YKK is the answer to a question every dressmaker eventually asks: which zip won't let me down? Roughly half the zips on Earth carry these three letters, and the reason is boring in the best way — they run smoothly, the teeth mesh true, and they keep doing it for the life of the garment. When a zip fails it takes the whole make with it, so this is one component where the safe choice is simply the right choice.

Our YKK range covers the dressmaking staples across lengths and colours — concealed zips for clean dress seams, closed-end for skirts, trousers and cushions, and open-ended for jackets.

Measure your opening, match your colour a shade darker, and never think about the zip again — which is precisely the point.
