Product Description
Black Stripe with Silver Teeth & Pull | No.5 Continuous Zip
Clean, graphic, and quietly modern, Black Stripe with Silver brings a crisp monochrome accent to bags and accessories. The fine pinstripe tape reads tailored rather than loud, while the metal-look silver coil gives a cool, hardware-forward edge—smart for everyday totes, travel pouches, and organisers. Order by the ½ metre and we’ll supply multiples in one continuous length, so you can cut exact runs for pockets, main openings, or a full set of coordinated pieces without waste. Each ½ metre includes one matching #5 teardrop ring pull; add extra pulls if you plan double sliders or several shorter zips from a single length.
This is Size 5 (5 mm) continuous nylon coil, chosen for its reliable handling on domestic machines. It feeds smoothly under a zipper foot, is gentle on needles, and flexes neatly around curves and boxed corners. If you prefer a closure that performs day in, day out without fuss, coil delivers: tidy top-stitching, easy alignment, and a comfortable glide.
The monochrome tape is straightforward to pair. Keep it minimal with black or natural linen; sharpen denim and chambray; or use it to define light palettes where a dark contrast would be too heavy. The silver coil partners naturally with nickel/silver-tone D-rings, sliders, triglides, and swivel hooks, helping you carry a consistent hardware story from strap to zip.
Because this is continuous zip, the details are yours to control. Feed sliders from either direction to create single- or double-pull zips; trim to the millimetre; finish ends to suit your pattern—fold back and stitch, or seal with a fray-preventer. It’s a versatile, workshop-friendly component that supports good workmanship and a calm, polished look.

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 functional quality components and a cohesive finish, Black Stripe with Silver 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.
