Meet the Founder

Ashley's journey began with a love for timeless style and the vibrant spirit of South Africa. Inspired by Cape Town’s breathtaking landscapes and diverse culture, she founded Zulu and Zana to celebrate the beauty and strength of women through fashion.

From sourcing the softest Egyptian cotton to collaborating with sustainable artisans, Ashley poured her heart into creating pieces that blend elegance with comfort. Each design is thoughtfully crafted to flatter women of all ages, especially those who embrace their confidence and individuality.

As Zulu and Zana closes its doors, Ashley reflects:
"Every piece we’ve created tells a story – of resilience, beauty, and connection. Thank you for allowing Zulu and Zana to be part of your journey."

This heartfelt farewell is Ashley's tribute to the incredible women who’ve supported Zulu and Zana over the years.
