Riri Zippers

Buckleguy.com is on of the select US distributors of Riri Zippers in the leather goods and accessories trade. 

Who is Riri? Riri is one of the most widely recognized and oldest zipper manufacturers in the world. Founded in 1936, Riri has set out to provide the most high quality zipper available. They have received national recognition for being the “ultimate in quality, precision and reliability.” Riri is most often seen on top of the line items such as handbags, clothing, and luggage, as well as on brands such as Dooney & Bourke, Prada, Dolce & Gabbana and others.

The most popular Riri Zipper is made from precious metal alloys, nylon, and zamac (zamac is a family of alloys with a base metal of zinc and alloying elements of aluminum, magnesium and copper). The zippers are made in Mendrisio, Switzerland and Tirano, Italy. During production, there are at a minimum 10 steps to allow for precision in every function of the zipper. Each metal tooth is polished several times to make it as smooth as possible, and as the old saying goes, “you can rub the teeth of a Riri zipper on a woman’s silk skirt and see no zipper track lines.”

After polishing, the teeth are electroplated in a number of finishes such as brass, nickel, antique brass, antique silver, and more, in a plethora of tape colors. At the end of the process the zippers are able to withstand an impressive 160 lbs of pressure.
