About
THE ZISOU BRAND CAME INTO BEING BASED ON AN IMPULSE – ALTHOUGH IT WAS NOT A COINCIDENCE.
FOR SEVERAL YEARS, I CO-CREATED A RENOVATION STUDIO OF ANTIQUES AT THE OLD MARKET OF POZNAŃ. EVERY EVENING, WHEN I WAS CLOSING THE DOORS I WISHED TO TAKE THE WARMTH AND THE SMELL OF WOOD WITH ME.
I DREAMED TO ALWAYS HAVE THE STUDIO ATMOSPHERE WITH ME.
THE IDEA WAS BORN WHILE I WAS WATCHING THE MOVIE “THE LIFE AQUATIC WITH STEVE ZISSOU”. YOU SURELY WONDER WHAT THE MOVIE HAS IN COMMON WITH A WOODEN BAG? REMIND YOURSELF – WHEN YOU WALK OUT OF THE CINEMA WITH THE IMPRESSION – THAT SOMETHNG EXTRAORDINARY JUST HAPPENED.
I WANTED TO KEEP – TO MATERIALIZE THIS MOMENT.
IN CONCEPT, THE HANDBAG WAS MEANT TO BE NOT ONLY AESTHETIC, BUT ALSO DURABLE AND FUNCTIONAL. I WANTED THAT THE BAG ACCOMPANIES ME EVERY DAY AND DOES NOT STAND ON A SHELF. THIS HAS BEEN ACHIEVED WITH THE HIGHEST QUALITY MATERIALS AND MANY YEARS’ EXPERIENCE IN WORKING WITH WOOD.
THE ZISOU BAGS ARE CREATED IN LIMITED SERIES AND EACH MODEL IS ABSOLUTELY UNIQUE THANKS TO A DIFFERENT ARRANGEMENT OF RINGS.
THE CREATIVE PROCESS IS BASED ON TRADITIONAL TECHNOLOGIES AND CARPENTRY CRAFTSMANSHIP – IN THE SPIRIT OF MINIMALISM AND CLASSIC SIMPLICITY.
