These hard-to-find #4.5 nylon-coil handbag zippers are perfect for all your bags, totes, and carriers.

Here's why we prefer them:

• Dress and skirt zippers carried by most local stores are too small. The #4.5 size is just the right size for purses, bags, and totes.

• The wide zipper tape makes insertion easy.

• Unlike zippers with chunky, molded polyester teeth, these handbag zippers are soft and flexible, making them easy to sew through. (No more broken needles!)

• The nylon coil is strong and durable zip after zip.

• The extra-long pull makes your bag or purse easy to open.

• It's very easy to insert a fabric zipper pull in the large opening of the one-piece zipper pull.
