29 April - National Zipper Day

 


National Zipper Day is celebrated on April 29th each year. It honors the invention of the zipper, a device that has become an indispensable part of modern clothing and accessories. The zipper was patented by Whitcomb L. Judson on April 29, 1851, though it was initially designed as a fastening device for shoes and boots.

Over time, the zipper's design evolved, and it found widespread use in various industries, including fashion, luggage, and sporting goods. Today, zippers are used in countless applications, from clothing and bags to tents and automotive upholstery.

National Zipper Day is an opportunity to recognize the impact of this simple yet ingenious invention on everyday life. It's a day to appreciate the convenience and functionality that zippers bring to our clothing and accessories, making it easier to fasten, secure, and access our belongings.
