Use a paperclip for now. Take it to a seemstress if you want it fixed right though.

Is it just the zipper pull tab that broke off? Or is something not working with the slider / teeth?

If it's just the pull, I've replaced tons of them with paracord. Most climbing / camping shops should have 1 or 2 mm cord that should fit through the eye of the slider.

FruitBootPropull tab. thanks

Yeah use paracord. I usually end up replacing my zipper pulls with it before they even break because it’s a lot more stress resistant

Superglue anything to it that you can pull. Like a paper clip or something

Exactly this. Or microcord if paracord is too thick.
