Our Story / Nossa História
Ziane Brazil is a made-to-order Brazilian-American apparel brand founded in 2023 by Shane H. and his Brazilian wife Ziane', the brand's namesake. We design and ship every piece from Denver, Colorado. We make tees, hoodies, mugs, candles, pajamas, phone cases, and stickers for Brazilians abroad, mixed families, long-distance couples, and the Americans who love them. Bold designs for bilingual hearts and multicultural homes.
Made for the heart that lives between two countries
Para o coração que vive entre dois países.
Ziane Brazil started with a simple feeling: saudade. That untranslatable Portuguese word for missing something so deeply it becomes part of who you are. We know it because we live it. Brazilian-Americans, expats, mixed families, long-distance couples. People whose mornings start with cafezinho and end with goodnight calls across time zones.
Ziane Brazil nasceu de um sentimento simples: saudade. Aquela palavra que não tem tradução, mas que vira parte de quem somos. A gente conhece bem essa saudade porque vive ela todo dia.
Who's behind Ziane Brazil
Hi, I'm Shane. My wife Ziane', the brand's namesake, is a Brazilian from the northeast, where Bahia, Pernambuco, and Recife meet the Atlantic. We started Ziane Brazil together in 2023 as our way of bringing her Brasil into our American life in Denver, and giving other Brazilian-American families a way to do the same.
The design work itself goes back further. I made my first t-shirt in 1997, with my daughter, for a family reunion. I've been designing tees ever since. Ziane Brazil is where that twenty-something years of craft meets the Brasil my wife brought into our home.

What we make
Tees, hoodies, mugs, candles, pajamas, phone cases, stickers. Wearable and giftable pieces that carry pieces of Brasil with them. Some are loud and proud (verde e amarelo on your chest). Some are quiet inside jokes only your família will catch. All are designed for people who carry two cultures and don't want to choose.
Camisetas, moletons, canecas, velas, pijamas, capinhas e adesivos. Peças para usar e presentear que carregam o Brasil com você. Algumas alto e bem visível (verde e amarelo na frente). Outras são piadinhas internas que só a sua família vai entender. Todas para quem vive duas culturas e não quer escolher.
