More in The House
- About Zipper VibeAfrican Heritage. Global Luxury. Future Design. Zipper Vibe is a premium lifestyle fashion house transforming African textile traditions into contemporary global luxury — clothing, footwear, accessories and objects made to be worn anywhere in the world.
- Founder's StoryThe house grew out of a simple refusal: that African cloth should only ever be shown as costume. It is founded on the belief that heritage textiles belong in the same room as the world's finest tailoring.
- Heritage & PhilosophyEvery Zipper Vibe piece answers to the same doctrine: honour the origin of the cloth, respect the hands that made it, and design for the life it will actually live.
- Global Heritage FusionThe house design system: an African textile tradition paired with a global construction tradition, resolved into one wearable object.
- CraftsmanshipPattern, cut, hand-finishing and quality control — the sequence every house piece passes through before it carries the Z.
- Materials & TextilesBogolan mudcloth, Bazin Riche, Wax Hollandaise, Ankara, Kente, Kuba cloth, indigo resist, Adire, Aso Oke, raffia and hand-woven fibres — sourced, documented and tested.
- Press & MediaBrand assets, collection imagery, house facts and a direct line for interview and sample requests.
