Zimbabwean Culture Fashion Brand ZimXcite
Signs International Merch Deals with Home-Based Artists
07 MARCH 2021 (Ibiza, Spain) - Colourful new Zimbabwean culture fashion brand ZimXcite is proud to announce that it has inked several international merchandising deals with local creatives under its Zim Arts division, a gig that will see these artists being able to sell their work or their branded merchandise to a global market.
The development is a much welcome opportunity for extra revenue, exclusively for those in the arts sector, considering the indefinite suspension of all social, cultural, leisure and recreational activities owing to the pervasiveness of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The assortment of products on offer includes stunning artwork on canvas or on framed wall art, plus branded merchandise items like clothing, mugs, stickers, backpacks, laptop/phone cases, tote bags, jewellery, pillowcases and even blankets.
A proliferating list with all-round creatives, among those who can now enjoy an international reach through the Zim Arts online shop are musicians Kelly Rusike, DJ King Her, Amy and the Calamities, Batsirai Shasha, Flying Bantu, wildlife photographer Tom Varley, Lemington Muzhingi (pencil artist), Karin Annan (painter), Derwin Graphics (pen artist/illustrator), as well as authors Brad Pohl and Hayden Eastwood, the latter who has written two books on learning how to speak Shona.
There are also comedians and Zimbabwean films in this new Zim Arts initiative, including “A Township Story”, a forthcoming film by Sydney Taivavashe, the director behind the Pan African Film Festival award-winning movie, Gonarezhou.

Established by Zimbabwean singer-songwriter, marketing consultant and film composer Ryan Koriya in early 2020’s tumultuous spin, ZimXcite started shipping all sorts of fun Zim words and phrases printed onto t-shirts, hoodies and mugs to help strike up interesting conversations about the Southern African country’s great land and its vibrant culture.
Now going beyond just sharing Zimbabwean-inspired humour, trivia and culture, the label is not merely in the business of selling a range of high-quality merchandise, but also promoting a fun spirit of inclusion, global diversity and is spotlighting Zimbabwe as an attractive holiday destination with its diverse cultures and trailblazing creatives.
Robots is a unique Southern African term for traffic lights that humorously vexes most of the world.
