At the Atelier we have standard-length zippers in common colours available for jeans and dresses. If your garment needs a specific colour or length, you’re welcome to source it yourself from shops in the city or online.

Some shops in Copenhagen you can check out: Stitches, Byensycenter, Selfmade, Stof 2000, Handler.

Prices are based on time, and the time required for a given job varies depending on the garment being made and the materials used. Some fabrics are simply harder to work with, requiring more steps and more precision to achieve a quality result.
