Zipper replacement at Double Stitch by Sumu, a Helsinki tailor

A failed zipper is the leading cause of a coat being thrown away too early. That is a shame, because zipper replacement is one of the most cost-effective repairs we do. At Double Stitch by Sumu, we replace zippers on jackets, coats, skirts, dresses, and bags, usually within a week, and usually for a fraction of the cost of replacing the garment.

For zipper replacement you do not need an appointment. Drop in during opening hours, we will look at the zipper and fabric, match or source the correct replacement, and give you a firm quote on the spot.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you match the original zipper color?

Usually yes. We stock common colors and can source unusual ones in a few days. For vintage garments where the original zipper color is discontinued, we recommend the closest modern match and confirm with you before replacing.

How much does it cost to replace a jacket zipper in Helsinki?

Jacket zipper replacement starts at €50, including a standard zipper. Two-way separating zippers are from €65.

Do you replace zippers on vintage or heirloom pieces?

Yes. Vintage zipper replacement needs careful fabric handling, so we recommend a short appointment rather than a drop-in for vintage or heirloom items. We can source period-appropriate zippers where the original style is still available.

Do I need an appointment for zipper replacement?

No appointment needed for simple quotes. Drop in during opening hours. For vintage or bag zippers, book a short appointment so we can give the piece a proper look.
