Product Description
Characterful Crab Zipper Pull in Bronze - Size 5
The Crab Zip Pull adds a touch of seaside character and old-world charm to your handmade creations. Cast in an antique bronze finish, this detailed design captures the distinctive shape of a crab with raised claws, fine leg detailing, and a softly textured shell. The warm, muted tone of the metal gives it a vintage feel — understated, tactile, and full of personality.
Designed for #5 nylon zip tape, this pull glides smoothly along the teeth for a clean, even action. The articulated link between the crab charm and the slider allows the piece to lie flat, ensuring the teeth align neatly without catching. Its well-balanced form and rounded edges make it comfortable to handle, while the slightly curved body provides a natural grip for easy use.
The bronze finish brings depth and warmth, pairing beautifully with earthy canvas, denim, linen, or nautical-themed fabrics. It’s a wonderful accent for bags, pouches, travel organisers, and beach-inspired projects, adding a subtle maritime touch without overwhelming your design. Despite its playful shape, the Crab Zip Pull has a grounded, practical feel — strong, dependable, and well-made.
Fitting is straightforward. With the teeth separated on the zip tape, align the pull openings to each end of the teeth and work the pull on until the coils catch; then draw the pull through so the teeth mesh cleanly. Keep the tape edges even for a smooth run.
Each pull is sold individually, giving you the flexibility to mix motifs or finishes across your projects. The antique bronze tone complements both dark and neutral zip tapes, offering a balanced contrast that looks equally good on rustic or polished designs.
To maintain its finish, simply wipe with a soft, dry cloth and avoid prolonged exposure to moisture or abrasive cleaners. Intended for bags, accessories, and organisers, not for safety or load-bearing purposes.
The Crab Zip Pull is perfect for makers who enjoy small, characterful details that tell a story. With its vintage tone and maritime motif, it lends a handcrafted, well-travelled feel to your work — a little nod to coastal life, captured in metal.
