zipper tips?

[rm]

The zipper on my purse broke, or more accurately, part of the zipper trim got stuck in it, so I can't open it or close it.

Anyone got any suggestions, other than cutting open and throwing out my $50 purse? Since right now that's the only way I can get my passport out of it.

P.S. -- not leather.

if you cant' take it to the tailor's, and the slider can be moved at all, try working the point of a pencil and and around the area. the graphite acts as a dry lubricant.


i'd also sometimes found wetting the area will allow me to ease the material out. if this is your velvet purse, though, i guess that won't help.

The very one. I shall bring it to a professional, and it's the best purse ever, and have just found the model has been discontinued.
