We missed the quiet days of the Gulf. So we brought them back.
There’s a specific feeling that only the Florida Gulf Coast can provide—a quiet, retro chill that reminds us of simpler beach days. In a world that keeps getting faster, Gulf Coastal Zen was born from a desire to preserve that tranquility and share it with those who value the "Old Florida" lifestyle.
We believe that style should be an invitation to slow down. That’s why every piece in our collection—from our Groovy Palms gear to our Wildlife Series—is designed and printed right here in the USA on the Gulf Coast of Florida. We use ethically grown US cotton and sustainable low-impact dyes to ensure that as we celebrate the coast, we are also protecting it.
Our Commitment to Quality, Community, & The Coast. We are deeply committed to the community that inspires us.
We take pride in our roots and our process. Here’s what makes us different:
* Proudly Designed & Printed in the USA: Every design is created by local coastal enthusiasts, and all our apparel is printed right here on the Florida Gulf Coast. We keep it local because quality craftsmanship matters.
* Sustainable Comfort: We prioritize using ethically grown US cotton and sustainable, low-impact dyes. As we celebrate the coast, we are committed to protecting it.
* 10% for the Pups & Meows: Zen isn't just a vibe; it's a mission. A full 10% of every sale from our Meow and Pup lines goes directly to local animal rescue efforts along the Gulf Coast. Your purchase helps us make a tangible difference. Relax and unwind. You're on Forgotten Coast time.
Founded by coastal enthusiasts who couldn't let the 'Old Florida' vibes fade away, Gulf Coastal Zen is a love letter to the Gulf Coast. Our journey started with a simple goal: to create comfortable, ethically made apparel that feels like a weekend at the beach, no matter where you are. Today, we are proud to be a locally-rooted brand that gives back to the coast we call home.
Grounded in the Sand. Connected to the Coast.
Our hearts found their home on the Gulf. At Gulf Coastal Zen, we aren't just inspired by the easy-breezy lifestyle of the Forgotten Coast—we are committed to protecting it. As founders who chose these shores, we believe in giving back to the waters that provide us with so much peace.
That is why we donate 10% of our proceeds to local animal rescues. From sea turtle conservation to the shelters in our coastal communities, every purchase helps our team preserve the wild beauty and the quiet soul of the place we love.
