ABOUT

Z-O-E is a design studio based in Surrey.

Starting with muslin products in 2016, Z-O-E launched with patterned muslin squares – an essential everyday baby item, but with our own twist of sophisticated and bright patterns for the parent and caregiver. Since then, our 100% cotton pre-washed muslin goods have now expanded into dribble bibs, snuggle blankets, baby grows, toddler tees, and more, providing the versatility needed when caring for your baby as they grow from newborn to toddler.

Whether you are looking for a dribble bib for your child, or a gift set to welcome a friend or families newborn, all our products are made with the softest material and high colour number to produce unique modern designs that both caregiver and child will love.

At Z-O-E we aim to share our enthusiasm for design by creating busy, contemporary patterns with a unique style, all with you in mind. At the end of the day, our aim is to connect with you through our passion and love for design.

MEET THE TEAM

Zoë

DESIGNER

A fun and enthusiastic designer, with a love for detailed artwork, reflecting her country lifestyle.
Zoë is passionate about creating well thought out decorative patterns stemming from her watercolour and pen sketches. All of her artwork is meticulously drawn, and delicately painted to create the final designs which use her hand drawn techniques, digital processes, or the combination of the two, to establish her unique signature style.

Tara

CHIEF CHAIR STEALER

Every studio needs an accompanying four-legged friend, and ours comes in the form of this 16 year old grumpy fluff ball. Her role changes from day to day, but she has been a true Z-O-E sidekick since 2002.

The designs on the muslins are simply gorgeous. How brilliant to have something that is beautiful, practical and original all at the same time! They are packaged so attractively that they make a perfect gift.
