Mother-daughter duo, Victoria Stoyanova and her mother, speak with Tipperary Live about creating their own brand of sustainable bags here in the Premier County.
Victoria shared a little about where the inspiration came from for starting their very own brand of bags called 'Zingy Days'.
"Zingy Days is a brand I founded with my mom in Tipperary, where we design limited edition bags. It all started during lockdown when I took some of my mom’s fabric scraps and started making bags during my final year of college, and I haven't stopped since."

Victoria and her mother want to make sure that they keep their unique brand sustainable and this is a core goal for them when designing each item.
"I want our designs to benefit the person wearing them while not harming the people who make them or the environment. That’s why we use unique deadstock fabrics, often sourced from our travels.
"Each piece tells a story, and our latest Eire collection is the story of our love for Ireland "Gra for the culture". I have lived in Ireland my entire life, and I wanted to show my appreciation for the country I have grown up in. We drew inspiration from Celtic Irish symbols, rustic vintage belt buckles and created 4 cross body bags with an adjustable belt buckle.
