Digitalization has allowed the fashion industry to expand and evolve rapidly through new technologies and innovative design processes.

This evolution underscores the need to proactively and assertively listen to customers, understanding their needs to propose original and creative, but above all, “exclusive” solutions tailored to individual requests. For YKK, this service becomes truly bespoke, where product design is shared from the start – from the feasibility study, facilitated by interaction between the customer and the YKK Research and Development Office, to researching new materials and finishes, and finally, to the product’s ultimate development.

YKK’s commitment to this trend, offering an increasingly personalized service results into products that meet current market needs, adhering to environmental sustainability regulations, and promoting a circular economy.

Below are some of the most innovative products present in the YKK Europe SS/25 Collection:

EXCELLA® with Organic Cotton Ribbon and Customizable Bottom Stop: A brushed metal zip with a soft 100% certified organic cotton ribbon, in the new chain size 10. Suitable for garment dyeing with the option to customize the bottom stop.

EXCELLA® NATULON® Stainless Steel: These zips, resistant to corrosion and oxidation due to stainless steel, are perfect for demanding applications in the luxury and leather goods sector, as well as for technical uses in the outdoor and nautical sector. The zip can be customized on the back of the slider, on open parts, and on the puller.
