Our story
Born between cultures, shaped by craft, and refined through intention.
Founded in 2022, ZAYNAB is a pre-order fashion label based in Florence, Italy — the meeting point of heritage, artistry, and emotion. Created by Venezuelan-Syrian designer Zaynab Salloum Aguirre, and joined by fellow Venezuelan designer Anaveronica Rodriguez Narciso, the brand was born from a shared devotion to meaningful beauty, tactile storytelling, and timeless femininity.
With backgrounds in fashion, graphic design, and art direction, our design language draws from a palette of contrasts: softness and structure, shadows and florals, nostalgia and modernity. We believe in garments and accessories that whisper stories — shaped by culture, guided by craftsmanship, and made to last.
Philosophy & Process
ZAYNAB is built on a slow fashion philosophy. Every piece is produced in limited quantities, made-to-order or in small curated batches — ensuring no excess, no waste, and total respect for materials and makers. We use this approach not only to maintain the highest level of quality, but to preserve the ritual of creation: design as a process, not a rush.
We work primarily with accessories — from ribbon scarves to lace chokers, satin rose necklaces to floral sleepwear sets — each designed to embody elegance with a hint of mystery. Our pieces are soft-spoken statements, meant to be treasured, worn slowly, and passed down like a poem.
The Spirit of ZAYNAB
More than a brand, ZAYNAB is an atmosphere — where dark romance meets quiet refinement, and where every thread carries a sense of place, time, and womanhood. Inspired by myth, memory, and the silhouettes of centuries past, we create not just objects, but emblems of presence.
We invite you into our world — where every piece is crafted with purpose, touched by history, and worn like a second story.
