Our Story
Founded in 2020, Nzapi began with a simple idea: clothing should tell a story. Our founder, Odinaka Ugwuozor, believed that every shirt could be a canvas for personal expression and cultural narratives.
What started as a small studio in Abuja has grown into a global community of storytellers, designers, and conscious consumers who believe in the power of wearable narratives.
Our Mission & Values
At Nzapi, we're driven by core principles that guide everything we do, from design to production to community engagement.
Authentic Storytelling
We believe in the power of authentic narratives. Each design is crafted to tell a meaningful story that resonates with both the wearer and the viewer.
Sustainable Practices
We're committed to ethical production and sustainable materials. Our shirts are made with organic cotton and low-impact dyes to minimize environmental footprint.
Community Connection
We foster a global community of storytellers and creators. Through collaborations and events, we bring people together around shared narratives.
What Makes Nzapi Different
Design-First Approach
Unlike mass-produced apparel, each Nzapi design begins with a story. Our in-house designers work closely with storytellers to translate narratives into wearable art.
Small-Batch Production
We produce in limited quantities to ensure quality and reduce waste. This approach allows us to iterate on designs and respond to community feedback.
Transparent Supply Chain
We believe in knowing where our products come from. We work with certified ethical manufacturers and share the journey of each shirt from concept to delivery.
Community Co-Creation
Our community doesn't just wear our shirts—they help create them. Through workshops and digital collaborations, we invite our customers into the creative process.
Our dream team
At Nzapi, our team brings together diverse talents united by a shared passion for storytelling through apparel. Each member contributes unique expertise to our mission of creating meaningful, wearable narratives.
