ZIPPERS.
That's right, now unzip your heart out.

The Zipper: A Fascinating Fastener
Brooklyn designer, Kate Cusack, approaches jewelry design as a visual artist, rather than as a fashion designer. She sees beyond the given purpose of a material and works with its other possibilities — treating it as line, color, and texture. In this way, Kate used a humble, metal-teethed zipper, in 2003, to create the first Zipper Pin. Since then, hundreds of pins have been sold in museum shops and fine craft galleries across the country. In 2006, Kate began a series of one-of-a-kind Zipper Necklaces. Both pins and necklaces are playful works of art that are both decorative, and unexpectedly sophisticated conversation pieces.
“In art school,” Kate explained, “I realized that once you allow yourself to use materials in unconventional ways, then, just about anything is possible. It’s ironic that most fashion designers try to hide or disguise zippers in their creations. However, I love zippers’ shiny metal teeth and I want to show off, not hide, their sparkle and their sinuous flexibility.”
Kate’s ingenious creations makes us realize that there is no limit to what one can do with a humble zipper.
Each Zipper accessory is unique and hand-sewn. Variations on certain styles are repeated, but in general no two pieces are identical. Retail prices range from $400 to $1000 according to complexity and design.
Current Zipper Accessories can be purchased in selected shops, for instance; the Etsy. Custom designs based on style and price are also possible--please contact Kate Cusack directly.
Salute!
