Our Story

Hi there ! Its me Priyanka Gusain the founder and head designer of my brand Zubiya.

Zubiya was established in the year 2013. Just when I finished college there was no question, I wanted to turn my love for art and painting into something more than just a hobby. 

And so the journey began. As a young artist I was definitely excited yet nervous to come up with the Idea of painting on the shoes, but today It has become the essence of my being, a snapshot of where I am, what I've experienced and what brings people to a smile.

I am inspired by the world around me and love interpreting it in brilliant colours , motifs and words, often influenced by the movies I see the people I meet and the places I travel.

OUR DESIGN MANTRA

My creations are born from intense thought processes, and Its a way I connect with my customers! I love that my work conveys a sense of sweet nostalgia and of self expression that brings a smile on peoples faces when they see my shoes, its almost like a mirror into which they can look to see or remember their own happiness reflected, They relate to it!

And that’s why at Zubiya we say:
