zipper pull

Fastener's tiny handle

A zipper pull is the small tab attached to a zipper's slider that you grip to open or close the fastener.

Standard pulls are metal or plastic tabs, but replacements range from leather tags to decorative charms: She added a beaded zipper pull to her jacket.

The term also covers aftermarket pulls designed for easier gripping.
