New luxurious designs at YKK

VISLON® CRYSTAL

Today, again, craft and technology meet high fashion for the creation of YKK’s new Vislon® zipper with crystals from Swarovski® on the elements. YKK has a longstanding heritage of producing the world’s most functional and luxurious trims and its latest collaboration continues its journey of innovation.

The Vislon® Crystal will bring a shimmering touch when used for ready-to- wear, outerwear, footwear, jewellery and childrenswear. The unique crystal cut creation will be a must-have addition to YKK’s special range of fastening solutions for high-end fashion and accessory products.

Technology and Variation

The Vislon® zipper is made with injected plastic elements and embellished with Swarovski® crystals inside the elements. These are available in five colour options, including Crystal, Aquamarine, Black Diamond, Light Colorado Topaz and Jet.

The Vislon® Crystal is available in size 5 and 10.

It is available on all colour tapes and elements from the YKK global colour card.

YKK INTRODUCES EYELET SNAP

Utility, form and function are the basis for YKK’s latest Eyelet Snap. Once a technical necessity for furniture and outdoor equipment, YKK has created a 21mm diameter eyelet, complete with snap function performance.

Product Benefits

Brands, designers, craftsmen and manufacturers will appreciate the YKK Eyelet Snap, which has the appearance of a regular eyelet, but in fact can be opened and closed with a fully functioning snap. YKK brings these products alive, with purpose and durability.

The decorative appeal of YKK’s Eyelet Snap is perfect for fashion’s current utilitarian trend, where functional outerwear and high-end bags need both design and durability. With YKK’s mechanical engineering, we blend luxury finishes with high-tech expertise, making the function of any garment or accessory the best it can be.

Availability

The Eyelet Snap is available in multiple finishes, the same plating and enamel range that is available to YKK zippers. London, January 2017
