Tex
Zippers
The opportunities in the trim industry
in Bangladesh are huge, as even till
now a lot of products – from zippers to
buttons to labels – are imported from
the Far East. The business continues
to grow and some of the large apparel
manufacturers are investing in a
big way to add to capacities, which
is always good for the ancillary
industries also.
“We at Tex have had a clear focus
in Dhaka on the bottoms and light
outerwear segment – which is
where our biggest growth and focus
has been in the zippers, we have
added the metal trims factory a
couple of years ago to support our
customers and become single point
contacts for all their metal trim
requirements. We manufacture
– shank buttons, rivets, eyelets
and metal snaps… Our growth
driver has been basically staying
customer-focused; so we have
adapted ourselves to the changing
business requirements and focused
on quick turnarounds, flexibility –
in both sampling and production,
and staying competitive in terms of
price.”

ZIPPERS
Fashion is all about attention
to detail and of new
approaches to conventional
trends dating back since the
beginning of time. For the
Fall/Winter 2017 season,
the designers at New York,
London, Milan and Paris
collectively decided to keep
the zippers and closures
exposed and multiple.
Cropping up as slashes on
jackets, flys, turtlenecks at
J.W.Anderson and Tome and
even diagonally all the way
through over-dresses and
skirts, at the likes of Michael
Kors and Peter Pilotto, the
zips seemed to be the new
accessory favourite for the
approaching season.
Tinted silver zippers with
a circular ring as hardware
closure is the most popular
trend in this category to be
taken note of which was well
carried out by Coach and
Topshop Unique.
