Description
For a bag closure with some drama, Aurora Storm earns its name. This #5 zipper from Renaissance Ribbons pairs charcoal gray nylon tape with an iridescent rainbow coil that shifts through teal, pink, and purple as it catches the light, finished with matching oil-slick metal pulls in the same rainbow sheen. The gray ground keeps it grounded enough to sit quietly in a lining, while the coil and pulls give a finished bag a real focal point at the opening. Includes 4 yards of zipper tape and 12 pulls.
Product Details:

- Coil: Iridescent rainbow finish that shifts through teal, pink, and purple
- Size: #5 (5mm coil)
- Length: 4 yards of zipper tape

Why Choose Aurora Storm Zippers from Renaissance Ribbons?
A Neutral That Still Makes a Statement: The charcoal tape reads as a true neutral, so it sits comfortably against saturated brights and low-volume prints alike. The iridescent coil is what sets it apart: it changes color as the bag moves, giving a simple zip a finish that looks far more involved than it is.
Customizable Length: Standard zipper lengths rarely match the bag in front of you. A continuous 4-yard roll lets you cut exactly what each project needs, from a short pouch closure to a long tote opening, with little waste across a whole run of projects.
Built for Bags: The #5 size has the strength for medium to large projects such as totes, backpacks, and travel bags, while the wide tape feeds smoothly under a presser foot. The coil flexes around curves and corners without fighting the needle, which keeps insertion far less stressful than a stiff molded zipper.
Single-Pull or Double-Slide: With 12 pulls in the package, you can build single-pull zippers or double-slide zippers at any length. A double-slide opening, working from the middle out, suits handbags and luggage, while opening from both ends works well for jackets and longer closures.
The 12 pulls arrive loose, ready to add to each length you cut. Attaching them by hand is doable, and it is easier with The Gypsy Quilter's Zipper Jig, which holds the pull steady while you feed in the tape ends. The jig handles size 3, 4-1/2, and 5 zippers, which covers this #5 coil.
Professional Recommendations:
- Needle: 80/12 universal needle for best results
- Thread: 40 wt polyester for a strong, durable stitch
- Presser Foot: Zipper foot or narrow foot for precise sewing
- Ironing: Medium heat, avoiding prolonged contact with the coil
