Just like Calvin Klein, Gucci, DKNY, or other brands with initials as their brand, Micoré chose the "Z" to represent our brand. (This is the original Z hand drawn by the founder with red lipstick!) The roots of the Micoré Z Brand stem from our Kenyan founder where she wanted to sell products to women of all skin tones. We decided to name the original company Micoré (mi-core-ray) International because in her native language, wambui micore means ZEBRA! Help us spread our Zebra "Z" Brand to women around the world!
