Zanzzoa begins as a new way to experience traditional craftsmanship: old-world skill viewed through a modern, discerning eye. Mass production has no place here. Work is slow, sustainable, and bound to the strict discipline of handcraft, each piece carrying contemporary spirit while remaining anchored in time-honoured technique.

SEASON 1 is the opening chapter, a decade of learning, sampling, and the pursuit of mastery gathered into a single body of work. Every creation bears the SEASON 1 stamp to mark its moment in our history when future seasons arrive. There is no fixed calendar; Season 1 concludes the moment the hundredth piece in The Ascension is acquired.

The Ascension is a numbered sequence of one hundred unique creations spanning bags, wallets, and singular oddities. Each work is numbered from 001 to 100 and the price rises in simple steps of ten pounds, with 001 offered at £10 and 100 at £1,000. The final work is an original Hermès Birkin, chosen to close the arc with a gesture that speaks to heritage, value, and the lineage of craft.

This is an art experiment about value, time, and perception. In a luxury world shaped by opacity and manufactured scarcity, it proposes clarity. Price becomes a visible gradient rather than a mystery. Rarity is not asserted; it is counted. The sequence invites the collector to decide why an object is desired, what a fair price might be, and how meaning accumulates as a piece moves through time. The discipline of the hand remains constant from the first number to the last; the devotion to materials and technique does not change because the price changes. In closing with a historic icon of leather goods, The Ascension places Zanzzoa’s authorship in direct conversation with the canon and affirms a modern stance: the truest luxury is patience, provenance, and the courage to make value visible.
