Product Description
Decorative Metal Mermaid Zip Pull for #5 Nylon Zips
The Mermaid Zip Pull brings a hint of maritime magic to handmade bags and accessories. Sculpted with elegant detail, the design captures the graceful movement of a mermaid’s tail and flowing hair — a subtle nod to seaside inspiration without straying into novelty. Available in a choice of polished silver or gold finishes, it complements a wide range of fabrics and fittings, from coastal blues and greens to understated neutrals and linens.
More than decorative, this pull is designed with practical use in mind. The tail’s shape offers a comfortable, tactile grip, making it easy to open and close zips even on smaller pouches or curved seams. The smooth, polished edges are thoughtfully finished so they won’t catch threads or scratch fingers, while the articulated link allows the charm to lie flat when in use — ensuring the #5 nylon zip teeth mesh smoothly without resistance.
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.
Because the mermaid shape is naturally curved and balanced, it moves freely along the zip without twisting or tipping to one side. The design also helps with visibility and grip, particularly useful for travel pouches, toiletry bags, project cases, or children’s makes where an easy-to-find zip pull adds a touch of practicality as well as charm.
Each pull is sold individually, allowing you to mix and match motifs or finishes across your sewing projects. The metal is well-weighted yet not bulky, giving a refined finish to both modern and traditional designs.
For long-lasting shine, simply wipe with a soft cloth and avoid harsh cleaners or prolonged moisture. This pull is intended for use on bags, accessories, and organisers — not for safety or load-bearing use.
A small detail with a polished presence, the Mermaid Zip Pull makes every zip that little bit more beautiful — functional, graceful, and quietly distinctive.
