What is Zulu and Zephyr?

Zulu and Zephyr is an Australian lifestyle brand that captures the essence of slow-paced coastal living with swimwear and resort wear designed for the carefree spirit. The name itself tells the story: Zulu represents strength and leadership, Zephyr embodies a light, breezy attitude — a duality reflected in designs that balance structure with ease.

Brand origin and duality

The brand operates two concept stores in iconic Australian beach locations — Bondi Beach and Byron Bay, both in New South Wales. According to the official stockists page, these locations serve as the brand’s home base, offering the full collection alongside personalized service. The Bondi Beach store sits at 4&5 11-13 Hall Street (enter via Gould Street), while the Byron Bay location is at 10A/11 Banksia Drive.

Australian lifestyle brand Zulu & Zephyr offers simple silhouettes—including sweet swimwear and beach-ready playsuits — for the carefree spirit.

Product range overview

The collection centers on swimwear — bikinis and one-pieces — alongside resort wear essentials. The brand emphasizes premium fabrics, with the swim collection featuring REPREVE® and GRS Recycled Nylon, indicating a commitment to recycled materials. The design philosophy leans toward relaxed silhouettes that transition seamlessly from beach to resort settings.

Zulu and Zephyr Australia

Australia serves as Zulu and Zephyr’s home base, hosting both owned concept stores and a network of authorized stockists across the country. For buyers in Australia, this means access to the full range plus the ability to experience pieces in person before purchasing.

Official store details

The Bondi Beach store operates Monday through Saturday from 9am to 5pm, with Sunday hours from 10am to 5pm. The store phone number is 02 9157 4060. The Byron Bay location keeps Monday through Saturday 9am-5pm hours, closed on Sundays. Both locations are listed on the official stockists page, with public holiday notices sometimes applying.

Local stockists

Beyond the concept stores, Zulu and Zephyr is carried at select Australian retailers. Double Bay in NSW stocks the brand with contact 0413 488 823. Stylerunner at 108 King St in Sydney carries the collection, as does Skin Official at 45 Stuart Highway in Stuart Park, NT. Podium Boutique in Yamba and Catriona.com also list Zulu and Zephyr pieces.

Zulu and Zephyr US

For US-based buyers, Zulu and Zephyr products are available through a network of independent boutiques concentrated in beach and resort communities. Unlike the Australian market, there are no brand-owned stores in the US — instead, the brand partners with local surf and resort shops that align with its coastal ethos.

US retailers

The US stockist list spans coast to coast, with concentrations in California and Hawaii. California stocks include BLVD in Manhattan Beach at 320 Manhattan Beach Blvd, Hermosa Surf at 5636 La Jolla Blvd in La Jolla, and Sea N Soul Surf in Malibu. Hawaii has the most options: Clhei in Paia, Hualalai Resort in Kailua-Kona, I Heart Hanalei Beach Boutique on Kauai, and Sessions in Ewa Beach.

On the East Coast, Belle Mar Swim operates at 7110 Wrightsville Avenue Suite B10 in North Carolina (28403), while Islands The Shop stocks the brand at 1240 Duck Road Suite 118 in Duck, NC. New York independents include Isalis at 353 Bleecker St in Manhattan and Our North in Katonah. inland options include Cosube in Portland, Oregon and Romy at Park City, Utah.

Shipping options

US buyers can purchase through the brand’s us.zuluandzephyr.com site, which handles international orders. Additionally, retailers like Free People offer the brand through their own US platforms. Most independent boutiques ship nationally, though inventory varies by location.

Zulu and Zephyr UK

UK buyers face a different landscape: no physical stores stock Zulu and Zephyr according to official listings, but online access is available through select retailers. This creates a buy-online-only scenario for British customers seeking the brand.

UK availability

Free People UK carries Zulu and Zephyr through its website, offering international shipping to UK addresses. This is currently the primary confirmed channel for UK-based purchases. The brand’s own sites (zuluandzephyr.com and us.zuluandzephyr.com) also ship internationally, though Free People provides a familiar UK retail platform.

Stockists like Goxip

While search results mentioned Goxip as a potential stockist, no UK physical locations were confirmed through official brand channels. Goxip operates as an aggregator platform, and some versions of the stockist list pointed to goxip.com/ie/en — though Free People remains the confirmed UK retailer.

Zulu and Zephyr Bali

Bali presents a mixed picture — one confirmed physical stockist exists in Canggu, making it possible to purchase Zulu and Zephyr pieces while visiting the island. However, the brand’s Bali presence is limited compared to Australia or the US.

Bali shopping

The Bali Cabin Store stocks Zulu and Zephyr at JL. Pantai Berawa No.59, Tibubeneng, North Kuta, Badung Regency, Canggu, Bali 80361, Indonesia. This location positions the brand within one of Bali’s most popular surf and resort areas, offering pieces suited to the tropical lifestyle.

Capturing the essence of slow-paced, coastal living with a curation of swim and resort-wear that seamlessly blends style with comfort.

Resort wear fit

For Bali visitors, Zulu and Zephyr’s resort wear line makes natural sense — lightweight fabrics and relaxed silhouettes perform well in humid, coastal conditions. The swim collection’s durability and quick-drying properties suit Bali’s beach culture. Visiting the Cabin Store allows buyers to assess fit and fabric quality in person.
