HISTORY & PHILOSOPHY

Zealous /ˈze-ləs/ means to be filled with or to be inspired by intense enthusiasm [Synonyms: enthusiastic, passionate, eager] and embodies our striving for happiness that we find in the ocean & mountains.

Because we were tired of losing our so called surf bikinis in the waves, we decided to design our own! Zealous surf wear is made to stay put and support you during your most radical turns and most hilarious wipeouts! Welcome to a new generation of women's surfwear!

Founded in 2010 in Hamburg, Germany, Zealous has evolved from a hobby, selling handmade pieces, to one of Europe's most successfull surfwear brands for women built on pillars of ethical production practices, support of environmental issues, and usage of sustainable fabrics.

At Zealous we are not only focusing on sustainability alone, but we are also celebrating diversity. We do not retouch our images, but showcase girls in all shades and shapes. We make products for ALL women, from size XS to 4XL, Cup A to Cup G, so that you're perfectly equipped to hit the ocean and pursue your passion! Come join our tribe!

PRODUCTS

Surf Bikinis, Surfsuits, and apparel made for women!

MANUFACTURING

We work with several small to medium sized manufacturers in Bali, Indonesia. Family owned factories. We have direct and personal contact to prepare the manufacturing after review designs and sketches together. We compensate fairly according to the market.

Our last achievement was to introduce plastic-free packaging, by today, we do not use any single use polybags to protect our products in the retailing process. Packaging free, biodegradable hangtags and strings, FCS certified and biodegradable tissues and shipping boxes.

- Non recycled nylon / polyester, fibers from China, knitted in Indonesia.

ENERGY & WASTE

We have a solar powered office. Office waste is being managed by recycling company. Most of the fabric leftovers are made into e.g. kids clothing. Fabric scraps made into scrunchies. Manufacturing in Bali is more like a cottage industry, it is hard to implement water recycling etc in their homes. But got lots of ideas for improvement.
