Zip and Zen: How a Mother Built a Bold Afrocentric Fashion Brand. The story of Zip and Zen Official begins with a mother who wanted to create clothing that celebrated identity while honouring the personalities of her two children, Ziphezinhle and Zenzonhle. What started as a personal expression grew into a vibrant Afrocentric fashion label that is now recognised for its cultural depth, bold prints and celebration of African identity. The brand’s name reflects its spirit. Its growth reflects its purpose.
