Brand kit

The Z mark, three ways.

One monogram, three official builds. Every surface the house touches — a boutique window, a woven care label, a licence plate, an app tile — uses one of these three and nothing else.

On product

Every Zipper Vibe object carries the Z and, somewhere quiet, a small passage of African cloth — a cuff facing, a zip pull tape, a lining panel, an inlay no wider than a thumb. The world's finest materials lead; the African thread is the signature that binds them. It is never the whole surface, and it is never absent.
