A separable slide fastener includes a pair of stringer tapes made of a pliable thread-free material such as nonwoven fabrics, a row of coupling elements on each stringer tape, a separable end assembly connected to bottom end portions of the stringer tapes, and reinforcement strips extending longitudinally over at least one side of the respective stringer tapes from the bottom end portions, respectively. The reinforcement strips have a length greater than that of the bottom end assembly, with the result that portions of the stringer tape contiguous to the upper end of the end assembly are prevented from being bent or stretched even after repeated operation of the fastener. |
