Invisible Zipper Black (580) 15CM YKK Not Divisible

Invisible Zipper Black (580) YKK 15CM Not Divisible

This black zipper is the kind you're not supposed to see in the finished piece. In the photo you can see how the fine teeth completely disappear into the tape, with only the small slider giving away where the closure sits. The deep black colour (580) is solid and opaque, so it blends seamlessly with just about any dark fabric. A compact length of 15 cm makes this the zipper you reach for when you need smaller closures where subtlety counts.

What is an invisible zipper

An invisible zipper, also called a hidden zipper, is designed to vanish completely into the seam once installed. The teeth sit hidden on the back of the tape and essentially roll away from the front, so you only see a neat, continuous seam with no visible zipper. This makes it a favourite among sewists who want a professional, finished look. This version is non-divisible, meaning the two sides stay attached at the bottom, making it ideal for closures that don't need to open all the way. YKK quality guarantees a smooth-running slider and a closure that lasts for years.
