A major contributor to environmental destruction is the fast fashion industry and its emphasis on overconsumption. Our high performance apparel offers a sustainable, eco- friendly alternative that doesn’t sacrifice quality, comfort, or style.
Because a sustainable future can only be achieved by collective effort, so Zola is the outcome of many like-minded, driven, and creative collaborators. In bringing Zola to life, we partnered with fashion and digital designers, fabric consultants, and footwear consultants who support our mission. These passionate creators collaborated with us on everything, from developing our eco-friendly product line to designing our logo. The result is a global brand with a minimal carbon footprint.
Zola founder, Abdul was born into a farming family in northern Africa and has fond memories of visiting his grandparents’ farm in the valleys of the Atlas Mountains in Morocco. For several generations, his family grew organic cotton on their land and harvested organic wool from their livestock to supply local mills. This practice was so deeply ingrained in his family’s history that they chose Souf, the Moroccan word for “wool” as their family name. His family tradition of working with the land is the root of his deep connection with nature and passion for organic, sustainable materials.
In selecting the name for our growing global brand, we wanted something that would reflect our commitment to protecting the planet. And so we chose Zola, the Latin word for “earth.” It encompasses what our brand is about at its core: our planet and the land that sustains us.
Our logo was similarly designed to capture our mission, right down to the last detail. The three dots of the “A” in our monogram represent “I am enough,” as it is written in Braille. We wanted to weave a message of sustainability into our logo, so that our mission to reduce waste is built into the very fabric of our brand.
We create sustainable and functional products without sacrificing quality, comfort or style, while lowering ourcarbon footprint.. We invite you to join our growing movement. Explore our range of sustainably made performance apparel to find your perfect fit.
