Our story

✈ When the sky becomes obvious

"2019 - A simple birthday present : five introductory flights. It only took the fourth takeoff for the story to begin.

We take off from Compiègne-Margny airfield, heading for Pierrefonds. That day, above the clouds, the sun pierces the gray skies and illuminates the castle with an almost unreal light. It's a suspended vision. A revelation.

This moment of weightlessness marks the starting point of a passion that became a vocation. Aviation, like a call to live higher, more freely.

Zélia Blanchard, founder of Z-Elles Aéro

Portrait of a committed founder

Entrepreneur, private pilot and lover of the sky, Zélia has always felt at home in the air.
But over the years, she noticed that in the drivers' locker room, there was little room for women. Even less for those who wanted to combine technical expertise, elegance... and character.

So she decided to create what she couldn't find: a brand designed by and for women who take charge , on the slopes and in life. But not only that.

Z-Elles Aéro is her. But above all, it's you . Those who dare, who learn, who inspire.

 

Remove your brakes.

Three words like a trigger. A personal manifesto that has become a powerfully universal message.
At first, it was a nod to aviation—that precise moment on the runway when you release the brakes to gain speed and take flight. But for Zélia, and for so many others, it's much more than that.
This is a message addressed to all those (men and women) who, one day, let themselves be held back: by doubt, by the norm, by a "this is not for you".
Behind every invisible obstacle lies a possible flight. And aviation, long reserved for an elite, a handful of men, here becomes the symbol of a regained freedom.
Z-Elles Aéro is this invitation to free oneself — from the gaze of others, from injunctions, from ceilings that we think are made of glass but which are just waiting to be broken through.

 

Our values: heading for audacity

At Z-Elles Aéro, every piece is a statement. An invitation to assert yourself without apology.
The brand is based on five fundamental principles:

• Female empowerment : putting female pilots (and all others) back at the center of the cockpit.
• Functional elegance : comfortable and elegant clothing, adapted to practice.
• Quality and durability : high-quality materials, careful finishing, for pieces that last over time.
• Ethical and local production : made in France, short supply chains, collaborations with trusted workshops.
• Transmission and inspiration : making people want to fly, to dream, to surpass themselves — whatever their trajectory.

Concrete commitments

We have chosen to produce in small series , to avoid overproduction and guarantee quality requirements at each stage.
Our materials are carefully selected , prioritizing comfort, resistance... and respect for the environment.

Our clothes are designed and created in France , with strong local roots, in a spirit of modern craftsmanship.
Each collection tells a story. That of pioneers, enthusiasts, and modern-day adventurers.
