Our Story
Ziloen is a webshop founded by mother and daughter, Marijke and Floriëlle. The idea to start Ziloen arose from a shared love for organic and sustainable products for babies and children. At Ziloen, you will find a wide range of organic baby and children's clothing made of wool, silk, and cotton. But also baby blankets, wooden toys, books, and care products. Since January, Marijke and Floriëlle have their own clothing label, called Unaduna.
Ziloen stands for pure and sustainable. Ziloen wants to introduce you to the benefits of organic and sustainable products, and at the same time contribute to a better world.
Floriëlle: “As a (young) mother, you only want the best for your child (and yourself). For me, those are products without toxins, that are produced sustainably and fairly. Simply because it's the best for you! All products you find in our webshop meet these requirements. Before we include a product in our shop, we also test it ourselves. In this way, we put together a collection of high-quality and attractive products.”
The products from Ziloen are, above all, practical to use. For example, all clothes are soft and flexible, allowing children to play freely. The wooden toys are sturdy and can be put in the mouth without the danger of toxins. And the lambskins look beautiful but primarily provide warmth and comfort.
Marijke: “The wool clothes that Floriëlle used to wear, my grandson is now wearing. That's what I love about our products. They last longer than one childhood and can be worn by brothers and sisters. And thus also by their own children.”
Marijke
Marijke handles all daily matters within Ziloen: contact with suppliers, customers, and processing and purchasing new products. Marijke also ensures that all orders are beautifully packaged and shipped at the end of the day.
Besides Ziloen, Marijke is married, a mother of four, and a grandmother. She enjoys spending time with her large family. She has three (and soon five!) dear grandchildren with whom she spends a lot of time and even provides with handmade clothes and dolls. Marijke loves nature and always has a crochet or knitting project going.
Floriëlle
Floriëlle is responsible for designing the website, editing all product photos, writing blogs, providing beautiful photos for Ziloen's Instagram, customer contact, and purchasing new products. Do you have a tip for our expansion? We'd love to hear it, please let us know!
