Product Description
Black Stripe with Gold Teeth & Pull | No.5 Continuous Zip
Graphic and refined, Black Stripe with Gold brings a tailored, city-smart edge to bags and organisers. The pinstripe tape sets up a crisp monochrome rhythm, while the metal-look gold coil adds a subtle gleam—not brash, just neatly engineered. It’s the practical maker’s sweet spot: the presence of hardware without the weight of metal teeth.
This is Size 5 (5 mm) continuous nylon coil, so it behaves beautifully under a domestic foot—smooth to stitch, gentle on needles, and flexible enough for curved openings and tidy boxed corners. Order by the ½ metre and we’ll supply multiples in one continuous length, ready for you to cut exact runs for pockets, top openings, laptop sleeves or pouches. Each ½ metre includes one matching #5 teardrop ring pull; add extras if you’re planning double sliders or several shorter zips from a single length.
The high-contrast stripe is versatile: anchor a black linen tote, sharpen a charcoal backpack, or give definition to pale neutrals. Pair the gold coil with gold-tone D-rings, triglides and swivel hooks for a coherent hardware story from strap to closure. And because it’s continuous zip, you control everything—feed sliders from either direction, trim precisely, and finish ends to suit your pattern.

Maker’s notes
-
Use a zipper foot and a steady, moderate stitch length for parallel top-stitching.
-
Basting tape keeps layers aligned; press lightly from the wrong side if needed.
-
You can stitch across nylon coil when a pattern requires it; avoid this on metal teeth.
-
To finish short ends, fold back the tape and stitch, or apply fray-prevention.
If you value components that support good workmanship and a cohesive finish, Black Stripe with Gold is a versatile choice: flexible, easy to handle, and ready to coordinate with gold-tone hardware for a polished result across bags, pouches and home-sewn accessories.
Other Details
✨ Attaching a Zipper Pull
- Separate the ends of the zip tape by a few centimetres to give yourself space.
- Place the slider so the flat side faces upward and the curved side points down.
- Insert the first side of the tape into the slider until it catches.
- Line up the second side carefully and feed it into the opposite channel.
- Push both sides in gently until the teeth begin to mesh.
- Slide the pull along the tape to check it’s secure and moving smoothly.
✂️ Snip Snip Tip: For easier threading, cut about 5 mm of the zipper teeth off one side of the tape. Feed the longer side with the teeth into the slider first, then the trimmed side — the stagger helps the pull catch and align cleanly.
Alternative: Trimming both ends of the tape on a slight angle can also help. Seal the cut edges with a quick pass of heat or fray stop to prevent unravelling.
