21 Zippered Inventions and Zipper Innovations

The zipper has completely changed how we close things. Since the zipper is far sturdier and more durable than buttons, it's frequently used to keep heavy-duty items like jeans, backpacks and luggage together.

The zipper also has far more artistic uses. At Trend Hunter, we've seen zippers on earrings, plates and even in ponds.

Whether you choose to intentionally expose your zippers or keep them hidden, these zippered innovations will keep you inspired.

Implications - If you do find yourself yearning for more zipped-up awesomeness, there are plenty of spectacular zipper innovations that await your discovery; now go forth on your quest for tightly bound zipper products!
