British homewares designer, Sophie Allport, and international conservation charity, ZSL (Zoological Society of London), announced today that they are collaborating for Spring/Summer 2020 with the launch of a new zebra collection. The latest collection will help raise funds for the international conservation charity and support their vital work creating a world where wildlife thrives.
The zebra collection includes a range of products from kitchenware and homewares to bags and accessories, with the design celebrating the Endangered Grévy's zebra and its incredible famed stripes, which ZSL has worked with for over 120 years.
The striking new range captures the beauty in the Endangered Grévy's zebras which stand proud and tall on a navy charcoal background on the new homeware designs. Patterned with the zebra’s distinctive black and white stripes, these incredible animals feature upright manes and large ears. Shoppers can purchase the beautiful new array of homeware products knowing that their money is helping wildlife across the world by supporting ZSL in continuing to help create a world where wildlife thrives.
ZSL London Zoo Chief Operating Officer, Kathryn England said, “There are less than 2,000 Grévy's zebras left in the world, and the survival of this iconic species hangs in the balance.
“By supporting ZSL’s newest collaboration with Sophie Allport you are helping continue ZSL’s work creating a world where wildlife thrives.”
Designer, Sophie Allport, said: “We are so pleased to be able to work alongside ZSL again with this collaboration and support their conservation projects around the world. It’s something that is extremely close to my heart as I grew up visiting family in East Africa and the wildlife there continues to inspire me.”
The new range features a variety of kitchen essentials including oven gloves, tea towels, hob covers and mugs. Also available are cushions, folding shopping bags, placemats and a sleep mask.
The new collection will launch on International Zebra Day, 31st January 2020, and will be available from shop.zsl.org, ZSL Zoos and sophieallport.com. The zebra range will also be available from a number of Sophie Allport’s 1,400 stockists worldwide.
