WHO ARE WE?

ISLNDZ was created by a group of Cape Verdeans who grew up far from the islands but carried the feeling of home with us everywhere we went. We built this brand to give our community something we always wished existed—pieces that reflect who we are, speak to our experiences, and connect us to one another no matter where life takes us. What started in the U.S. now reaches the EU, Cabo Verde, and the many places around the world where Cape Verdeans and those inspired by our story live. Every product and experience we create is meant to feel personal, familiar, and intentional, so that when you come across ISLNDZ, you don’t just see a brand—you feel a place where you belong.
