Pre-owned items are articles of clothing that have been retired from someone else closet. 

Pre-owned items already exist, so they require no additional resources and energy to create, contributing zero additional carbon emissions, pollution, and other environmental damages. Additionally, Pre-owned garments are being saved from being thrown away. Around €150 million worth of textile waste goes to landfill and waste each year. Buying pre-owned garments gives clothing second lives, building circularity in the fashion industry, and shortening the demand for new garments.

Pre-owned garments are also often more special because they are often one of a kind because they aren’t sold commercially anymore. They can make your wardrobe more unique, showing your individuality.

Pre-owned items help you reduce the impact of your purchase and close the loop. Around €150 million worth of textile waste goes to landfill and waste each year. By choosing pre-owned items you are keeping them in circle for longer.

Items can be returned 14 days after the delivery.

1990s Medium Wash Denim Halterneck Dress - M

Founded in 2017 and connecting you back to the story behind cloth one dress at a time. Working both circular, with natural fibres and with women’s led artisanal projects along with the United Nations EFI

Zazi's family of majestic artisans –mostly female - is growing and they proudly co-create with different NGOs, artisanal communities, and the UN Ethical Fashion Initiative all around the world. Zazi aims to help artisan workers empower and lift themselves, their families, and their communities out of poverty and create new opportunities

The colourful world of Zazi started in 2017 from a student bedroom apartment of its founder Jeanne De Kroon in Berlin. With love for the artisanal craft, nature, and a wish to weave the stories of women behind the cloth, Jeanne started with 3 dresses and 2 coats. Little did she know the community would grow into a global network of artisans and women storytellers. Zazi keeps its familiar approach with a strong team in Amsterdam and abroad

Zazi believes that there is connected wisdom woven through these ancestral practices relating to the needle, thread, and the colours and healing properties of plants. The brand aims to empower women by helping them tell their stories and preserve their craft

Each Zazi co-creation is imbued with the authentic richness of the cultures behind every material, pattern, and craft. The brand wants to help preserve traditional craft and cultural heritage, using age-old techniques to carefully create each of their pieces

In Afghanistan, Zazi works with an atelier with a commitment to women’s empowerment, artisanal craftsmanship, and cultural heritage. The atelier brings together over 25 tailors and 100 home-based female embroiderers and partners with the UN Ethical Fashion Initiative. They also work with The Saheli Women’s collective, an arts and fashion studio where 40 women bring beautiful designs to life in a small village in Rajasthan, India.The Saheli Women centre focuses on community building through creativity and facilitating women’s economic and social independence. Additionally they work with IkatUz,  a social enterprise in Margilan Uzbekistan.The atelier brings together 5 masters, 9 artisans, and over 50 Ikat weavers and partners with the Ethical Fashion Initiative

Zazi wants to be transparent about the many costs that are both unseen and seen in their small business. For each of their products, you can see a complete price breakdown including the cost of their materials, artisan’s work, shipping, customs, design fees, marketing fees, bags and packaging, payment fees, country tax, and "Zazi working costs" which is their markup. Any profits leftover are directly invested into a new community so they can slowly grow the company, step by step

This handwoven squared-neck silk dress is a true feminine dream with its form-fitting silhouette, delicate beaded back straps and intricate bandhani tie-dye decoration carefully made by the BairAj community. Bandhani is an ancestral craft from Gujarat which is made by plucking the cloth with the fingernails into many tiny bindings that form a stunning motif on the textile.

ARTISANAL NOTE
In 1994, Nivedita Banerji started Kumbaya as a stitching centre in a remote village in Dewas district, Madhya Pradesh. Today, over 100 women from marginalised communities work in Kumbaya Producer Company Ltd, where employment is guaranteed for 300 days a year. 
Banerji says nothing is considered waste at Kumbaya, with leftover waste being reused to make another garment besides creating sustainable fabrics. “We have always re-used dead stock discarded by industrial fabric units and bought hand-woven and other artisanal cotton fabric made by skilled craftspeople across the country. I want to make Kumbaya work more on circular fashion and design,” she adds.

MATERIALS AND CARE

Zazi items are handmade with carefully selected natural materials without the use of synthetic chemicals. To cherish your handcrafted Zazi dress for a longer time, please handle it with care.

Protect from heavy rain or heat. Should it become wet, we advise to air dry. 
Washing by hand is advised to maintain quality of thread and colour. 
MADE WITH LOVE

When it comes to running a small company with purpose, there are so many costs that are both unseen and seen. From renting our Zazi world in the heart of Amsterdam to the worldwide creatives we work with every day. From the most talented pattern makers, photographers and muses to the endless calls to perfection every co-creation up to the smallest seam. From our community work of tracking your order to packing them with love, and a little note before it arrives with you.
Our co-creations are a process of months of calls and love letters to our partners to get to know them and their stories. Two teams of women come together from far corners of the world to create products made with the intentionality to truly connect you to the stories interwoven in them. If there is money left by the end of this process, it is directly invested into a new community so we can slowly grow this company step by step.We hope you feel the love we weave through every garment.

Upcycling, also known as creative reuse, is the process of transforming by-products, waste materials, useless, or unwanted products into new materials or products of better quality and environmental value. 

Upcycling artists are inspired by the textile waste they see, which is almost an unlimited resource at this point. They create with the intention to use what is already here. This process is important in the circular fashion movement, because it makes use of discarded textiles, giving these materials second lives. 

Because discarded textiles are not typically sheets of fabric, but rather articles of discarded clothing, a lot of creativity is required to transform materials into new fashionable pieces. This challenge is exciting for upcycling artists, as they are driven and inspired to create with what is in front of them and often don’t have much to lose in the process, since discarded materials are readily available and cheap. Because of this, upcycled clothing is often unique as each piece has been thoughtfully crafted into a new garment.

This product is made by creatively upcycling materials that would otherwise go to waste. This makes better use of resources like deadstock fabrics: leftovers from big production that are saved by re-using them.
