I AM A TRUE NATIVE OF CALIFORNIA.I WAS RAISED IN LOS ANGELES AND LOVED

FASHION FROM THE TIME I KNEW WHAT CLOTHING , COLOR,AND SHOES WERE.

I HAVE BEEN DOING FASHION FOR 35 YEARS.......I STARTED OUT WITH A SHOWROOM AT THE CALIFORNIA MART WHICH BEGAN WITH A BANG AND

CONTINUED FOR 35 YEARS. I WAS A SALES REPRESENTATIVE IN THE MOST

POPULAR FASHION BUILDING IN THE WORLD OF FASHION AT THE TIME........

..YOU CAN STILL FIND THE ENGELS SHOWROOM AT THE CAL/MART ... DURING MYCAREER AS A SALES REPRESENTATIVE,..I DRESSED SOME OF THE MOST FAMOUS

POLITITIANS WIVES IN THE WORLD, ....CELEBRITIES,AND ANYONE WHO WANTED TO

CHANGE THEIR IMAGE , BUT STAY WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF THEIR COMFORT ZONE I HANDED THE BOTTON TO MY YOUNGEST DAUGHTER AND SHE CONTINUES THE SUCCESS

AS OUR CUSTOMERS MAINTAIN THEIR LOYALTY TO OUR BUSINESS. I AM A CONSULTANT WHEN NEEDED......

AS A REPRESENTATIVE OF FAMOUS ACCESSORIE LINE.S...I SOLD TO EVERY STORE FROM MAJOR DEPARTMENT STORES SUCH AS FEDERATED AND NORDSTROM,TO CHAIN STORES TO SMALLL IN DIVIDUALLY OWNED RETAIL STORES.....

MY HUSBAND OF 48 YEARS ,WAYNE ,AND I DECIDED TO OPEN A WOMANS RETAIL STORE IN LAGUNA AS WE WERE NOW RESIDENTS ...LOVED THE COMMUNITY...THE CALM, THE

BEAUTY, THE PEOPLE, THE ART, THE ENTIRE FEELING THAT LAGUNA OFFERED US .

.... AFTER YEARS AND YEARS OF THE RUSH AND RUMBLE IN L.A. WE WERE NOW

READY TO EMBRACE THIS BEAUTIFUL OCEAN SIDE LIFE STYLE........

SO HAVING THE SPIRIT OF FASHION STILL STIRRING INSIDE ME, WE STARTED OUTWITH A TINY STORE IN THE BROADWAY PLAZA NEXT TO CAFE ZINC...IT WAS SMALL AND COMFORTABLE...AND WE NAMED IT "ZAZU", FOR ZA ZA VOOM IN FRENCH

SLANG.......THE NAME CAUGHT ON AT ONCE, AND THE RESIDENTS AND TOURISTS LOVED OUR LITTLE STORE...BEFORE WE COULD SAY "ZAZU"....

WE BEGAN TO GROW AND GROW AND PRETTY SOON WE COULDNT FIT OUR MERCHANDISE INTO OUR LITTLE STORE...WE WERE THANKFULLY GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO BUY OUT OU R NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR

AND THE EXPANSION OF ZAZU BEGAN.....iWE STARTED GETTING REQUESTS FOR

NAMES AND BRANDS WE WERE NOT CARRYING AT THE TIME....SO, I, LOOKED INTO

PURCHASING THESE NAMES AND REQUEST , AND BEFOR E YOU COULD SAY ZAZU, WE WERE RECEIVING THEM ALL.

DIANE VON FURSTENBERG, MICHAEL STARS, 7 FOR ALL MANKIND, 575 DENIM.....

CHIP AND PEPPER.....ROBERT RODRIGUEZ, TOCCA, ........L.A.M.B ..BY

GWEN STEFANI......POLECI...ABS....LANGUAGE, ..AND JUST ENDLESS OTHER

NAMES..............

.PUSH ING THE FORWARD BUTTON TO OUR CURENT BUSINESS, I CAN HONESTLY SAY, WE HAVE HAD THE SAME LUCK, LOVE AND ACCEPTANCE, THAT WE HAVE HAD AS A REP........IN OUR RETAIL STORE "ZAZU".

WE LOVE THIS BUSINESS AND I CAN NEVER GET ENOUGH OF IT....I AM A VERY BLESSED PERSON TO GET PAID FOR WHAT I LOVE TO DO, AND I KNOW IN MY HEART THAT ALOT OF PEOPLE WORK ALOT HARDER FOR ALOT LESSI

WE HAVE GREAT SALES AT THE END OF EACH SEASON AND WE WANT OUR CUSTOMERS WHOM, WE CHERISH AND THANK,...... TO SHOW OUR APPRECIATION BY GIVING THEM ALL THE BEST SAVINGS POSSIBLE ..............IN THE GREAT PRICES WE DO AT OUR SALES....................................

WE I CANNOT HAVE ANYONE WORK FOR US WHO CANNOT SAY THANK YOU WITH A SMILE TO EACH AND EVERY PERSON THAT WALKS THROUGH OUR DOOR WHETHER THEY MAKE A

PURCHASE OR NOT!!!!

WE FEEL WE HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH THE BEST 2 LETTER WORD IN OUR BUSINESS....THE WORD IS "IT". EITHER YOU HAVE IT OR YOU DONT AND, ZAZU HAS IT ALL THE WAY.

BY THE WAY I HOPE I MENTIONED WAYNE AND I HAVE BEEN MARRIED FOR 48 YEARS THIS CHRISTMAS AND HAVE THREE GORGEOUS GROWN ADULT CHILDREN, AND TEN, YES

TEN,FANTASTIC GRANDCHILDREN.........

NO MATTER WHAT WE DO IN OUR LIVES WE WILL ALWAYS BE PROUD OF OUR REPUTATION IN THE FASHION INDUSTRY ...AND THE ACCEPTANCE WE HAVE RECIEVED AND TRIED TO GIVE BACK, BUT NOTHING.................................CAN EVER

TAKE THE PLACE OR MAKE US PROUDER , THAN THE FAMILY WE HAVE BEN BLESSED TO HAVE......
