Size 4.5 Nylon Coil Handbag zippers are the ideal size for all your handbags, purses, and more. They are wider and easier to sew in than the All Purpose Size 3 zippers and add a bit of a statement because the zipper tape will show on your project.
Size 4.5 zippers have teeth that are 4.5mm wide, the tape is around 1.25" wide, and they usually have a longer "purse" pull.
My Handbag zippers are from YKK, the world's largest manufactuer of zippers.
Zippers by the yard are cut to order and can be ordered in 1/4, 1/3, or 1/2 yard increments or as running yardage. Pulls are sold separately.

The 'By the Yard' zippers will show a coil next to it. Ones without the coil will be 37" closed end zippers. The 'S' indicates that it is a standard colour in my store, so there will likely also be a corresponding 14" closed end zipper that matches it so you can co-ordinate your projects with matching zippers.
