Mend zips
Is your zip broken? Don't panic! You don't have to throw away your jacket, bag or trousers or have them repaired at great expense. With a few small tips and tricks, you can easily make minor repairs yourself. Sliders and zips can be replaced, and a zip that is jamming can be made to run smoothly again. Give your garment or bag a second chance and fix the zip yourself!
Zip pull broken?
Replace the zip pull with a new zip or a lovely decorative trinket!
Zip getting stuck?
Take a candle and rub the wax along the zip. Pull the zip up and down a couple of times to help distribute the wax.
Zip coming undone?
Attach a key ring to the zip, use this to pull up the zip and hang the ring over your trouser button. Then close the trousers using the buttonhole.
Wann lohnt ein kompletter Austausch?
Wenn der Reißverschluss über eine große Länge defekt ist, viele Zähne fehlen oder irreparabel verbogen sind, ist es oft sinnvoller, die gesamte Bahn zu ersetzen. Besonders bei teuren Kleidungsstücken lohnt sich der Aufwand. Bei sehr günstigen Teilen – abwägen.
