ABOUT

Susan Zienty

is a female-owned, slow fashion brand founded in Queens, New York specializing in custom, silk-centric designs handmade specially for you.

Origins

began with a mother-daughter duo in a circus tent full of handmade, roller skating costumes. Great-great-gma Bonnie & Great-gma Dorothy performed in the circus as professional roller skaters – wearing Bonnie's handsewn designs. The legacy of eccentric fashion-sense left behind has since been carried on by my gma & mom. However, the knack for dressmaking...

That has been left to me ♡

Garments

are meticulously crafted with acknowledgment to both the allure of excess & the seduction of less. Through an unwavering dedication to striking a balance, Susan Zienty creates one-of-a-kind pieces bound to entice.

Mindful design

has never looked this cute. Locally-sourced materials. Renewable, biodegradable silks. Upcycled accessories. Small batch production. Handmade to order. Created to last.
