Brand positioning and origin
SAEHAN is a Korean zipper brand operating within the Saehan Group and positioned around metal constructions for premium and designer customers. Its catalogue is narrower than a full-range house, reflecting a focus on the articles where finishing quality is most visible.
The brand's approach follows the Korean trims tradition: careful plating, a wide option card for sliders and pulls, and production runs sized for fashion seasons rather than commodity volume. That makes it a candidate for garments where the zipper is a deliberate design detail.
Product range
The offer is metal-centred with limited complementary articles:
- Brass and aluminium zippers in #3, #5 and #8, standard and Y-tooth profiles.
- Plated finishes including nickel, antique brass, gunmetal and matte black.
- Open-end, closed-end and two-way configurations for jackets and bags.
- Invisible coil articles for dresses and skirts where a concealed closure is needed.
- Custom sliders, engraved pulls and leather tabs developed for a collection.
Typical applications
SAEHAN articles appear in designer outerwear, leather and suede jackets, denim, tailored trousers, handbags and small leather goods. The brand is often specified by labels that want a metal zipper with a particular finish and a pull that carries their logo, typically in seasonal collections with moderate volumes.
Quality and compliance
Metal articles are evaluated for tooth pull-off, slider locking, cycling durability and salt-spray resistance, following methods such as ASTM D2061 and BS 3084, with nickel-release data available for skin-contact parts. OEKO-TEX Standard 100 documentation is offered for many articles. Certification for a particular article is subject to the supplier's certificates.
Sourcing notes
Specialist metal suppliers of this type usually set moderate minimum order quantities and treat new plating colours as development work. Sampling takes two to three weeks, longer for custom pulls or engraving. Bulk production typically runs four to six weeks. Because colour approval is critical, buyers should request physical swatches and confirm the finish under the intended lighting.
