What role does the faux leather overlaid along the zipper line play?

Trimming refers to a finishing method where the edge or seam of a fabric is wrapped with another material. While fake fur has a soft and gentle texture^[1], its fibers are long, making it easy for fur to get caught between the teeth when zipping up. A detail to prevent snagging is necessary.

LOW CLASSIC finished the perimeter of the zipper by banding it with faux leather in the same color as the outer shell^[2]. The outer shell material is a blend of 80% acrylic and 20% polyester^[3]. The smooth leather surface creates spacing between the zipper teeth and the fur, allowing the slider to move up and down smoothly without chewing on the fur. It also has the effect of keeping the zipper line neatly aligned rather than buried in the voluminous fur.

The closure method also aids movement. A two-way zipper that can be opened from both top and bottom is applied^[4]. Leaving the bottom slider slightly open keeps the hem from pulling taut when sitting or walking, maintaining a natural silhouette.
