All about ZIPS

We have a huge selection of zips, over 1000 just from our YKK UK stock to meet all your sewing supply needs.

If you're going to spend time making something then you should put in a zip that will last a lifetime, and for that reason we only stock YKK zips. If you check a zip on most quality goods you will find it was made by YKK.
