These hard-to-find nylon-coil zippers are perfect for bags and carriers.

Here’s why we prefer them:

• Dress and skirt zippers carried by most local stores are too small. The #4.5 size is just the right size for purses, bags, and totes.
• The wide zipper tape makes insertion easy.
• Unlike zippers with chunky, moulded polyester teeth, these handbag zippers are soft and flexible, making them easy to sew through. (No more broken needles!)
• The nylon coil is strong and durable zip after zip.
• The double slide lets you open your bag from either end.
• The double slide also enables you to make two single-slide zippers. For example, if you only need an 18″ single-slide zipper for your project, you’ll still have a 12″ single-slide zipper left for another project. Visit By Annie blog for instructions.
