The standard zip is on so many items of clothing or home décor items that they go unnoticed a lot of the time. This however is changing!

Zips are now being used as statement items on clothing; they are being used more and more as features on bags and household items; they are even becoming the popular fastener for more luxury items like wedding dresses, removing the old corset styles from the market.
