Portsmith - ブラックジッパー閉じキット

Adding the zipper turned my tote from a cute open bag into something I actually trust on the subway. The hardware feels sturdy, and the leather piece was pre-cut to line up with the pattern's existing seams. Only took me an afternoon.

Was nervous about cutting into my finished tote, but the leather pieces were pre-cut and matched perfectly. The zipper glides smoothly and the hardware feels sturdy, not cheap at all. My bag finally looks like a proper store-bought one.

Installed this on my tote over the weekend and the zipper glides so smoothly that it’s honestly made me reach for the bag more than before. The included leather pieces matched the original pattern perfectly, so the closure looks like it came that way from the start.
