"Everything about Zazi is beautiful but what stands out the most is the commitment to enable women who make clothes all over the world being able to make a living out of it."

Sophie

"My Zazi coats are more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. Every time I wear one I'm stopped and asked about my 'incredible coat'. It gives me so much joy to tell this story of these radiant one of a kind pieces as the ethos of the whole company is something I stand behind wholeheartedly! The entire experience of dreaming, designing, receiving, and now wearing has been exquisite."

Auden

"My custom coat arrived yesterday and i’m in awe by how beautiful this coat is. From the stiching, to the patterns, to the fabric; I feel like a Goddess in it."
