Fast fashion is only getting bigger by the year, and zipper companies want a slice of that pie. But high street brands will rarely work exclusively with one zipper manufacturer, which is why you will find a variety of different types of fasteners in items from the same brand.
I own enough stuff from Zara to supply a small shop, and I had to really dig through my collection to find an item with a YKK zipper. So, why exactly is that? The thing is, fast fashion companies need zippers that fit into the design of their items. Brands like Zara are able to have copies of runway looks in their stores in about two weeks — from designing the knock-off item to you paying for it at the counter.
Two weeks is a really short time, and if a company does not have a specific zipper shape they have in mind, they will turn to a different supplier. This also explains why the quality of items in the same store is rarely consistent. The main reason why YKK still manage to dominate the worldwide market is reliability. Over the decades, YKK zippers have become synonymous with toughness, durability and excellence. And as consumers, we are the ones who help the company come out on top year after year.
But none of them were YKK. Anna is the co-owner of expert world travel and can't wait to share her travel experience with the world.
