A Smarter Alternative to Zipper Closures

When it comes to luxury travel accessories, durability and functionality are key. At Jekyll & Hide, we understand the importance of providing luggage that not only looks great but also offers long-lasting performance. That’s why our luggage collections feature a frame design—a smarter, more durable alternative to the traditional zipper closure. We’ll explore why our frame luggage offers unparalleled security, durability, and style, ensuring that your travels are hassle-free and your belongings are well-protected.

The Problem with Zipper Closures:

vulnerable to theft

Zippers can be easily tampered with, compromising the security of your belongings during travel or handling.

Fragile & costly to repair

Replacing a broken zipper can sometimes cost more than the bag, making repairs impractical and costly.

Traditional zippers have been the standard in luggage design for years, but they come with a few limitations that can lead to frustration during your travels. Over time, zippers can break, get stuck, or become worn out due to frequent use. Additionally, zippers are vulnerable to tampering or breakage, putting your belongings at risk.

At Jekyll & Hide, we recognised these drawbacks and set out to create a luggage solution that offers superior protection.

The Smarter Choice: Our Frame Design

Enhanced Security:

While zipped luggage can be bypassed with a simple tug or manipulation, the frame design with integrated TSA locks makes it much harder for anyone to gain unauthorised access to your belongings. When security matters, a frame design provides peace of mind.

Increased Durability

Unlike zippers that wear down over time, our frame is inherently stronger and built to last. Constructed from premium aluminium, the frame adds both structure and resilience. By comparison, repairing a damaged zipper can be unexpectedly costly—often exceeding the price of the bag itself. That is why we have entirely eliminated the problem with a smarter, longer-lasting solution

Protection Against the Elements

Zippers are often a weak point when it comes to protecting your luggage from the elements. Our frame design, however, features a unique rubber seal that creates a secure closure. This added layer of protection significantly reduces the risk of water or debris getting inside, keeping your clothing and valuables dry, clean, and safe, no matter where your journey takes you.
