The selection of zippers and buttons for the coming winter season is a tribute to refinement and authentic luxury, that needs no excess. Within it, tradition and craftmanship are combined with the use of modern technologies and creativity that goes beyond the limits. The result is a collection evoking the past, particularly the 70’s, with its warm brown tones, but it is projected towards a futuristic reality, accentuated by the petrol colour and the use of materials such as steel and aluminum.
Employed on chains, sliders, pullers and button caps, steel is in fact among the protagonists of this season. The use of stainless steel, thanks to its high resistance and recyclability, extends the life cycle of the accessory and, treated with Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) technologies, ensures a series of further environmental benefits (to learn more: THE ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS OF PVD – Riri). Another material that finds its way into the new collection is aluminum, particularly appreciated for its lightness and for its distinctive recyclability and durability.
Interesting news concerns chains: the symmetrical tooth is now available on aluminium Eloxal zips. Innovative and original work is not lacking on the pullers either, where classic shapes are reworked in a modern key with the inclusion of imaginative charms and cords, leather inserts and snap hooks.
Buttons lend themself to refined customizations, with the use of precious elements such as horn and geometrical motifs like checkered patterns and lozenges.
In the area of finishes, PVD is increasingly being used on sliders and button caps in shades of gold and black.
