Is a Redesign for Zippers Overdue by 100 Years?
For more than a century, zippers have been a reliable fastening solution in clothing, bags, and countless other products. But with all the advancements in technology and materials, one might wonder: is it time for a major redesign?
Are we trying to fix something that’s not broken, or is there genuine room for improvement? Despite their durability and ease of use, zippers can sometimes jam, break, or cause frustration. This has led inventors and designers to explore new concepts and innovations aimed at enhancing the zipper experience.
Ultimately, whether a complete overhaul is necessary depends on balancing tradition, functionality, and modern demands. The question remains—are we overdue for a zipper revolution, or should we appreciate the simple efficiency of the design that has stood the test of time?
