We live in this “throw away society”today which pains me as I watch the earth “burn”.
I came across Zimbabalooba back when it was a small start up business using environmentally friendly cottons & processes to hand make products for market.
I am still wearing clothing purchased 20+ yrs ago; a testament to the products quality.
Let’s get back to basics & support these home grown initiatives.

Thanks so much for your kind words. Just a word on the word " verts " I called the trousers verts because of their association ( in the beginning) with people who went "vert"ical . Such as climbers and flyers of paraglyders and parachutes but also because " vert" is green 💚 in French. Not that I am French but it's worth thinking about our nature ! And we do - verts are natrual 100 % cotton and the dyes we use are certified green 💚

Great clothes, great service.
Slight issue with availability of the size/design/item I wanted, but this was highlighted and resolved immediately with the minimum of fuss. Goods received so far are top quality - I can't recommend these Zimbabalooba products and service highly enough. Thanks!

Thanks Derek, your second pair are on their way from Zimbabwe. I will up date you next week, as to when we can post them with trusty Royal Mail. Regards Johnny
Love my Verts
These are my 7th pair of verts and they're great. Comfy as it gets and look good too. Id like to see a few new designs now and again. Please bring back the Sheep ones. I got a pair 15 or so years ago and they're starting to look a bit worn now

Great product and experience, as always!
I have ordered from zimbabalooba multiple times and highly recommend. I've purchased both the ready-made and made-to-order verts, and they are always high quality, and look great. I wear them out regularly, but have also worn them hiking and bouldering, and can't recommend them enough. Aside from the product, I've always been impressed with how communicative Johnny is. He replies quickly via email or WhatsApp, and always goes out of his way to fix any issues or answer any questions. For example, there was a recent issue with a courier losing my parcel - Johnny kept me informed about what was going on, and very kindly sent a replacement, despite the item being made to order. They are my favourite trousers - I have four verts and some shorts, my partner has asked for some for their birthday, and family members have also purchased because they were really impressed with the design and quality. Will definitely keep ordering!

Definitely worth ordering
Ordering was easy, and delivery wasn't long.
Only thing I'd say was medium is fairly big, but the small is more fitting for me but the waist is too tight.
Small would have been better without the really tight waistband.
