“The inherent circularity and connectedness to nature, community, and culture that Jeanne discovered in these first collaborations would inspire a growing vision to platform and celebrate artisanal craft, nature, and weaving women's narratives through cloth. Little did we know that our community of storytelling women would keep growing 8 years later.

Each ZAZI piece is a result of intentional collaborations designed with over 1100 artisans from all corners of the world. With our partner families, we weave traditional and ancestral techniques with contemporary ideas to co-create garments imbued with the cultures, places, and stories of which our artisan families wish to tell.

ZAZI is created on the principles of true collaboration and co-creation, allowing space for regrowth and working in harmony with our land, local biodiversity, seasons, and the incredible humans that weave our products into existence.

Our hope at ZAZI is to truly celebrate our artisan partners and their craft.” - The World of Zazi

I (the author) recently found Jeanne’s Instagram account and I was immediately drawn to her energy. De Kroon often shares her thoughts and views on life as a woman. Not only has she succeeded with her company; “Zazi”, that she started at 22-years old, but she is also an incredible force of feminism.
