Zulu & Zephyr was founded in the summer of 2013 by sisters Candice and Karla Rose, inspired by their mother’s Australian fashion of the 1970s. The brand has celebrated nostalgia through vintage prints, tactile textures, and thoughtful, considered design.
At Zulu & Zephyr, prosperity is shared, opportunities are nurtured, and impact is intentional. As the brand has evolved, so has its commitment to responsibility — to our team, our extended workforce, our suppliers, and our customers.
Sustainability is at the heart of our practice. We approach the complexities of fashion with care, refining processes and materials to honour both people and planet. We celebrate the progress we’ve made and embrace the ongoing journey to do more, creating pieces that are timeless, and distinctly Zulu & Zephyr.
