NOTAPE™ Zipper
In the universe of apparel, the zipper has long been treated as a 130-year-old “truth.” It must have tape. It must be sewn in place.
“But what if that tape did not exist?”
For NOTAPE™, doubt came far more often than encouragement. This was unexplored territory—no drawings, no references, no precedent to follow.
Like relentless astronauts, through years of repeated testing, refinement, and reconsideration, we moved forward in the dark, challenging every “impossible” in pursuit of a single “perhaps.”
In time, the answer emerged. We reinvented the zipper.
“Tape-free” is more than the evolution of a zipper. It opens new freedom for designers, removing one of the final structural constraints.
And for the planet, this small structural change could spare tens of thousands of tons of textile waste each year.
Over a decade, NOTAPE™ has exchanged time for progress—moving the industry forward by a single step. “Perhaps that small step of ours, is a giant leap beyond fashion.”
