About Carolina Zapf, CZ and Baby CZ

 

Carolina Zapf is the founder of CZ and Baby CZ clothing companies. German-born Zapf focuses on heirloom quality children's wear in rich, cozy materials such as cashmere, linen & cotton. She was born in Frankfurt, Germany, and raised in a proudly modern and bohemian home. Her father is renowned furniture designer Otto Zapf and her mother Rosalie is a sharp collector of '60s and '70s haute couture. Design meant everything in their Bauhaus-influenced house.

Carolina came to the U.S. and studied fashion & millinery at F.I.T. (The Fashion Institute of Technology), but was quickly toiling in Manhattan's fast-paced fashion marketplace at the age of 21. Carolina designed women's wear for 12 years before she decided in 2002 to focus on two things: luscious two-ply cashmere as a material and chic new parents as customers.

Carolina's philosophy for Baby CZ is that every piece is designed to enhance a child's beauty and spirit, and to make them feel good. Children should look their age and enjoy the clothes they are wearing. She quickly notes that they are the toughest critics. If they do not like something, they won't wear it!

The Baby CZ line includes everything a baby needs,
knitwear in cotton & cashmere sportswear, dresses and accessories like blankets & hats. The line includes all categories of boys & girls up to 12 years and select styles for women & men.

The intention is that these pieces will become treasured keepsakes, handed down for generations.
