Our Story
After her beloved pet rabbit damaged her laptop case’s zipper, Tesia Thomas wondered if there could exist a zipper tape more durable than the current design, without teeth, and also strong enough to be used in clothing.
Over one hundred years of no commercialized changes to the zipper tapes used in clothing made the work to create a more functional version into a daunting task.
However, driven by curiosity and unwavering optimism, she kept working on the problem.
After a year of independent research, she finished the concept of the closure.
She named it Klōs™.
Don't Zip Up, Klōs™ Up
The Klōs™ brand closure is a trademark of Zipr Shift.
Tesia Thomas, inventor of the closure, named it Klōs™ because the onomatopoeia “zip” no longer worked as the Klōs™ quietly interlocks.
She figured a new name was needed.
