About ZILEM

It all began from the island of the heart. ZILE’M is Haitian Creole for “my island.” The brand is inspired by the rich heritage and culture of the designer’s homeland. A world of wonder surrounded by lush tropical vegetation. ZILE’M pieces are created with appreciation for nature and a strong sense of cultural identity. Through them, we take the opportunity to tell a different story, a positive narrative about Haiti. ZILE’M designs are bold and distinctive with a Haitian-Caribbean-African flavor. They feature the flora and fauna found on the island, enhanced by vibrant color gradients, and the use of cultural symbolism.Read their story
