WA WOHLATZ ADDITIONALS
WA Wohlatz Additionals have already noticed a tendency in the last few seasons that, after the rather clean, almost basic-like styles, there is a shift towards sporty, colourful statements. It will remain classy and chic, but you can play more with details in the trim area here and there. Logo buttons in metallic optics, logo tapes, silicone patches, eye-catching zipper solutions leased with silver and gold, neon also has its place again. More new products will be presented as well.

YKK
Thanks to the scratch, corrosion and oxidation resistance of the material the new EXCELLA® zipper with stainless steel chain is strong, light and hypoallergenic and does not require any galvanic treatment. The latest collection of YKK also includes innovative products from the sustainable NATULON® line which uses recycled yarn for the tape and has a much lower carbon footprint than zips made with virgin polyester.
