ZAË the story
ZAË is a former sprayer name founded by Marly in 2014. It was used from time to time. There are many great memories she associates with the name and the three letters have remained her favourite ones. Almost at the same time Marly started to paint textiles by hand. It became a passion that she shared with friends. The first pieces she created were for friends who had a HipHop crew at the time.
Now in February 2021 she has finally decided to establish her own brand, where she can live her passion for textile design, sustainability, slow production and collaboration with diverse artists. Her designs are inspired by urban cultures, travel, animals, humans and nature.
On one side the ocean, on the other side the mountains and straight in front of me the concrete street. I can feel it under my feet, vibrating through the speed of my board. I feel light. I leave the city behind me. I am in the park and the sun is shining. The bowl is empty and my mind is free. My clothes allow me to make every move I want as I fly for a couple of seconds.
With a passion for artistic creativity we collaborate with different artists to create limited art pieces.
