Zass

We are a mother+daughter environmentally aware accessory design studio based out of Raleigh, North Carolina. We started zassdesign in 2009 with a focus on upcycling found/recycled materials into unique contemporary wearable pieces. In our ideas, we are inspired by the beauty inherent in the disposable, the ordinary. The marriage of metals, plastics, paper, cork, textiles and such, are combined in our work to create sustainable pieces, giving the wearer a sense of personal environmental awareness. Each piece is individual with a unique past, present and a future story of its own. Our hope and dream is that our pieces can make simple changes in one's life, and help them move towards a more sustainable lifestyle.
