Raccagni's hand-polished metal zippers are purchased for avant-garde fashion — but the identical hand-finishing and precision metal quality is also sought by the ultra-luxury marine and private aviation industries for interior fittings. Superyacht upholstery manufacturers and private jet interior designers source the same artisan Italian metal hardware houses (including zipper manufacturers like Raccagni) for the bespoke cushion, seat, and leather panel hardware that must meet the same aesthetic standards as a luxury fashion garment. The avant-garde fashion supply chain and the ultra-luxury transportation supply chain converge at the same small artisan factories in northern Italy's metalworking belt.

Raccagni was founded in 1983 by Italo and Daniela Raccagni in northern Italy, positioning from the outset at the ultra-luxury end of the zipper market — the tier above Riri (Switzerland) and far above the mass-market Asian producers. The company differentiates through hand-polishing and brushing of each individual zipper, custom-designed pulls, and extreme precision finishing in gunmetal, nickel, and polished chrome. Its clients include Rick Owens, Lanvin, and other avant-garde designers who treat a Raccagni zipper as part of the garment's aesthetic statement.
