OCEAN Grove is once again home to outdoor apparel brand Zorali, with founders Cam and Elise Greenwood relocating the business back to the Bellarine after four years in Queensland.<\/p>\n
For the couple, the move is a return to the coastline where the brand was founded and where many of its earliest ideas took shape.<\/p>\n
“It’s definitely exciting for us to be back home,” Cam said. “It’s been a long time coming.<\/p>\n
“We missed Victoria’s seasons and the rugged wild nature of things. To be fair, it’s in the DNA of the brand.<\/p>\n
“The whole coastline down here has a special place in our heart and its full circle to be back here right where it’s embedded in the heart of Zorali.”<\/p>\n
Founded in 2018, Zorali has grown from a small local venture into a global outdoor apparel brand with a community of more than 70,000 people across 80 countries.<\/p>\n
It became a certified B Corporation in 2022.<\/p>\n
“It’s amazing to see how far it’s come from small conversations on the beach in Torquay to becoming a community globally,” Cam said.<\/p>\n
“The community around here has been paramount. We’ll never forget that first adventure meet-up in the You Yangs. Since then, everyone has been along the journey with us enjoying the outdoors in our gear.”<\/p>\n
Now back home, Cam said the team was looking forward to reconnecting with the local community while continuing to develop new products.<\/p>\n
“Zorali does do quite well in the cold, so expect more in that space,” he said.<\/p>\n
“We are also working on a collection for the warmer months, which we can’t wait to get into the hands of our community this spring.<\/p>\n
“Merino continues to be popular for us and that’ll be a consistent focus.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
