"Leather is not just a material; no, it is a canvas. It is a medium with which to paint visions of beauty and wonder"

ABOUT

At the helm of ZR is our founder, artist and artisan  - Zora Romanska, who pours her heart and spirit into every piece she creates. Born in Bulgaria and educated in the Academy of Fine Arts in Italy, Zora’s life has always been engulfed and set ablaze by artistry. For ZR, art is not something to be enjoyed and admired from afar, but something to be experienced, felt, and taken part in. Zora is always on the lookout for new forms, new silhouettes, and new shapes that would push the boundaries of what is possible with leather.

Zora Romanska’s leather art strives to be unique, and to connect with each individual in a way that is both profound and personal. Each piece is created for someone that doesn’t shy away from people’s gazes - a person that loves to stand out and inspire.

The personal odyssey of ZR began with a love of leather and evolved into an ongoing journey of creativity and imagination without bounds. A story that reminds us all that with a bit of art and a lot of heart, anything is possible. Will you join us on our journey?

ABOUT THE PRODUCTS

Each ZR collection is a labor of love, a liberation of the soul and an interpretation of the beauty in our world. Zora takes inspiration not only from the breathtaking elegance of the natural world, like the hypnotizing flow of lava, the sudden cooling of magma, or the harshness of the sea, but also from the depths of the human mind and spirit.

Each piece is handcrafted meticulously out of selected Italian and Spanish leather in a small, but charming atelier in Sofia, Bulgaria. Only the finest materials are used, as it befits when creating high-quality leather art. No two products are ever completely alike, since each and every one is lovingly made through many labor-intensive hours of precise work, and imbued with its own spirit and energy.

ZR is a conceptual leather brand with a mission that goes beyond making mere accessories, but rather to create wearable pieces of art that would stir the soul and capture the imagination.
