Welcome to Zelie and Lou, a Catholic clothing brand founded by a college student in 2019. Frustrated with the lack of trendy Catholic apparel, she decided to take matters into her own hands and create a brand that young Catholics could be proud to wear. Starting small with stickers, Zelie and Lou quickly grew into a full-fledged clothing brand with a mission to provide high-quality and meaningful clothing for Catholics. Our designs are inspired by Scripture, the lives of the saints, and the rich traditions of the Church.
Named after the parents of Saint Therese of Lisieux, Zelie and Lou embodies the spirit of "littleness" that Saint Therese so famously espoused, having begun in a tiny dorm room. We are excited to see Zelie and Lou continue to grow and flourish under Ascension. Our goal remains the same: to provide high quality and meaningful clothing for Catholics who want to live out their faith in every aspect of their lives.
