Product Description
Maritime Octopus Zip Pull - Size 5
The Octopus Zip Pull brings a refined touch of the deep sea to your handmade creations. Cast in a polished silver finish, this intricately detailed charm captures the quiet intelligence and strength of its ocean muse. The eight curling tentacles are delicately sculpted with subtle surface texture, while the domed head and smooth underside create a balanced, tactile piece that moves gracefully as you use it.
Designed for #5 nylon zip tape, the Octopus Zip Pull combines craftsmanship with practicality. Its small articulated link allows the charm to lie flat, keeping the zip teeth perfectly aligned so the pull glides smoothly from end to end. Despite its intricate form, each curve is carefully rounded and polished, ensuring it won’t catch on fabric or threads — a hallmark of thoughtful design for bag makers and sewists alike.
The broad shape of the tentacles makes this pull particularly easy to grip, even when working with thicker materials or when hands are busy with tools or thread. It’s a striking yet functional detail, perfect for project bags, travel organisers, pouches, and accessories that call for a little extra personality without compromising performance.
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, so you can choose one motif or mix several across your projects. The silver finish offers timeless versatility — it pairs as beautifully with dark waxed canvas and denim as it does with bright quilting cottons and marine-inspired prints.
For care, simply wipe with a soft cloth to maintain its lustre, and avoid harsh cleaners or prolonged moisture. This decorative pull is intended for bags, pouches, and accessories, not for safety or load-bearing use.
Durable, functional, and quietly commanding, the Octopus Zip Pull is a small but distinctive finishing detail — ideal for makers who appreciate both fine metalwork and reliable everyday use.
