Weird thing is that the zipper appears to be installed backwards and there is no pull to easily zip and unzip the lining. I was able to do it by sliding the zipper slider but I am wondering if I got a defective bag or what, exactly, this lining zipper is for.

Thanks for any guidance on this.
I haven't seen those on luggage but I've encountered one on a backpack before.

It's meant for zippers you rarely open, or which are meant to be extra secure.
