ZIPS! Yes, we can replace broken coat zips but please bring along a new zip because we can't keep a large stock ourselves. Kimberleys Krafts and Nortex Mill are two excellent local independent shops, where the staff will advise on which zip to buy. However, Kimberley can sometimes repair zips without the need to remove and replace the zip because she stocks a selection of sliders and pullers of many shapes and sizes. Great news!
