ZAGARA Home was founded by Oriana's mother, Catherine LaMarca, an interior designer whose Italian heritage and love of design inspired the ZAGARA Home Collections. Her creations are borne out of her appreciation for fine textiles and heirloom linens reminiscent of those hand-embroidered by her mother and nonna. The memories of pure white Italian linen towels embroidered with elegant detail and the sweet smell of Sicilian citrus were Catherine's motivation for the creation of ZAGARA Home’s Signature Collection. Her intention is to introduce old world charm to a new generation and revive memories of long ago!
