About the Brand

In the face of the global pandemic, our communities have learned new ways to come together. Through supporting your favorite local restaurants/shops to FaceTime and Zoom calls to drive-by birthday parties and even front porch happy hours, we have all found new ways to show up while also keeping our [6ft] distance. We’ve adapted. As three friends, we thought “How can we help each other and the people we love?” From there, we came up with the idea to create face covers for our communities to be safe while also social distancing. Thus, sparked the zipper concept. The zipper adds an element to the cover, an accessory that’s quickly becoming a staple in our wardrobes and allows people access to their mouths. Need to sip? Open the zipper! Need to hydrate? Unzip! We want to allow people to keep their faces covered, stay safe, be responsible. Shut your mouth but look great while doing it.
