To make the decision easier, we developed our Dream Bag Configurator, where you can try out and put together your desired bag combination. If you need inspiration on which styles best suit your style, feel free to check out our blog (ZL Quiz).
Yes, we offer several sets in our online shop to make the initial selection easier. Feel free to take a look under the category "Bag Sets", where you will find all the current sets.
As a rule, each of our bag colors has a matching changeable flap. Some flaps may sell out faster.
Not all changeable flaps fit every body. To choose the right combination directly, we have divided the different sizes into categories in our online shop:
- Mini changeable flaps fit the Mini Me, Pochette, La Belle, Hobobag, Mini Work Buddy, and Mini Triple
- Round changeable flaps fit the Best Buddy, Big Best Buddy, Day Buddy, backpack, Work Buddy, and Best Hobo
- Square changeable flaps fit the Little Miss, Triple Miss, Just Miss, and Work Buddy SQ
In the configurator, you will be notified if you have selected a changeable flap that does not fit the chosen body.
You will also receive a notification in your shopping cart if the combinations you have put together are not compatible.
We sell our bags primarily through our own online shop, which allows us to stay in direct contact with you, our customers.
We also have our own store in Munich, where you can see the bags in person.
ZOÉ LU Store
Sendlingerstraße 14
80331 Munich
From 29 May, you can also find us in Kitzbühel:
Gschwantler Kitzbühel
Hinterstadt 18
6370 Kitzbühel, Austria
The changeable flap has a small snap button on the zipper pull that, once the flap has been zipped onto the body, is fastened to its counterpart on the bag body (in the upper right area by the slip pocket on the back of the bag body).
We are always on the lookout for new trends and high-quality, innovative materials. For our bags, we use carefully selected Italian premium leather. We searched for quite a long time until we found “the” ZOÉ LU leather that meets our standards. We love its pleasantly soft feel and natural appearance combined with the highest quality. The material’s durability also impresses us. Our high-quality leather is exceptionally long-lasting and will be with you for many years.
Leather is a natural product and can vary slightly in appearance and feel. Like our skin, it does not absorb colors or embossing in exactly the same way everywhere. Therefore, slight visual variations in color or pattern may occasionally occur. These irregularities are characteristic of high-quality leather.
For our changeable flaps with a snakeskin print, the snakeskin pattern is printed and embossed onto our high-quality leather. All pattern pieces are positioned on the leather hide to use the leather as efficiently as possible and minimize waste. It is therefore not possible to influence how the pattern will ultimately appear on the flap - making each flap a truly unique piece.
The bat is the unmistakable symbol of ZOÉ LU . It represents freedom, individuality, and self-fulfillment, as we were inspired to create it by the slogan "Always be yourself unless you can be Batman, then always be Batman“. It can be found in our products, for example in the metal clasps, the iconic stitching of the Kinda flaps or the wallet, and in ZOÉ LU's own black-and-white jacquard.

Leather care
We recommend using only the Friiz Protector and Cleanser , which you can purchase from our shop. They are based on natural ingredients, are water-soluble, and are free from any silicones, wax, and oils.
Here you will find instructions on how to use them properly and how each type of leather should be treated.
On our Instagram profile @zoelu_official, under “Highlights,” you will find step-by-step instructions on how to use the Friiz Protector and FriizCleanser correctly.
Leather Cleaning with FRIIZ - N°2, THE CLEANSER
1. Mix N°2 The Cleanser with water in a 1:5 ratio.
2. For heavy soiling, apply the undiluted fluid to the moistened brush and treat the affected areas using circular motions.
3. Absorb the foam containing dirt (e.g., oil/grease mixtures) with a cloth, then clean/rinse the bag with clean, lukewarm water. Suitable for use at all water temperatures. Warm water increases effectiveness.
IMPORTANT: Do not use on metallic or coated leather
as this can damage the material!
Leather Protection with FRIIZ - THE BAG PROTECTOR
1. Shake the bottle
2. Spray on a thin layer from a distance of approximately 10-15 cm. Massage the liquid into the fibers with a lint-free cloth. Wait 2 minutes and repeat the process. Tip: For an even more effective result, repeat the process after 2 minutes and blow-dry with a hair dryer.
3. Allow the surface to dry for 24 hours to achieve optimal effectiveness
IMPORTANT: Do not use on metallic or coated leather
as this can damage the material!
On our Instagram profile @zoelu_official, under “Highlights,” you can also watch again how to use the Friiz Protector and the FriizCleanser correctly.
The FriizProtector is made from natural ingredients, is water-soluble, and contains no silicones, wax, or oils, making it well suited for our rivet flaps as well. However, please apply the Protector carefully and treat the rivets accordingly with care.

ZOÉ LU Club
The ZOÉ LU Club is a loyalty program through which we want to thank you for your loyalty. As a club member, you can earn points with every purchase and gain access to special offers, great discounts, and much more.
If you already have an account with us, you are automatically a ZOÉ LU Club Member. When creating a new account, you automatically agree to become a Loyalty Member. Sign up here and easily collect points with every purchase.
We ask you to choose a single account with which you collect points. The more points you collect, the more benefits you receive.
Yes, membership is of course free.
The points can be redeemed on all categories except New In and already discounted products. However, you earn points when purchasing ALL products. Discounts cannot be combined with other promotions.
Once you have generated the discount code, it is valid for 1 month.
The points will be credited to your account after 20 days, once the return period has expired. If you return your entire order, no points will be credited. If you return only part of your order, you will receive points proportionally for the products you kept.
Once generated, a points code is valid for four weeks and cannot be reactivated after use or refunded if the order is returned.
You will retain your current status until the end of 2027, regardless of how many points you have - it will not be reassessed until then. From 2028 onward:
- Your status will be reassessed at the beginning of each year, based on the points you have accumulated by then.
- You can move up at any time through additional purchases, but you will only move down on January 1 of a year.
- Redeeming points does not affect your status, so you will not be downgraded as a result before the end of the year.
Good to know:
Status and redeemable points are tracked separately: Your status does not depend on the points you use for redemption. Both are independent of each other.Your status remains in place until the start of the new year even without purchases: Unlike with points, you do not need to be active to retain your status.
