The brand had a vintage aesthetic that sought to recreate the detail and fine tailoring of 1940?s-era garments, particularly suiting. Made of rayon crepe with great attention to detail, Zelda?s signature suit style featured a fitted jacket embellished with soutache, beading or ribbon work ? rivaling the quality and character of the vintage originals. Sold as separates, with a skirt or pants option to go with the matching jacket, Zelda suits were coveted by professional women seeking non-cookie-cutter attire for the office. ?Zelda ceased production in 1998.
