This outfit? Rocking a jeans dress with pockets (yes, the dream!), cinched with an Obi belt made from the same fabric as the bag’s lining — because details matter.

The RISE UP Bag is a true one-of-a-kind: up-cycled from a leather jacket, visible sleeve zippers and all.

That is how I see beauty in the leftovers. Scraps, seconds, forgotten leathers — they’re not trash, they’re just waiting for their second act. 🌟

Up-cycling ♻️ is one of my love languages. Because creativity + care = less waste, more wonder.

Serving soft elegance with a twist — this real silk blouse (thrifted treasure!) paired with sky-blue pants from a local clothing exchange is giving ✨secondhand chic✨ in all the right ways.

Shoes? Painful. 🥲 Perfect for pics though 😂
Sustainably styled, imperfectly perfect, and 100% Zikaami. 💙♻️

Words to live (and create) by. 🌍💚
At ZIKAAMI, this isn’t just a motto — it’s stitched into every bag, every up-cycled piece, every choice to reuse what still has life left in it.

Deep respect and gratitude to Dr.

"Fast fashion is like fast food..." 🍔👗
…fun in the moment, but 10 minutes later? Regret. Crumbs. And a weird polyester aftertaste. 😬

Livia Firth said it best: “Fast fashion is like fast food. After the sugar rush, it just leaves a bad taste in your mouth.”

Outfit of the Day: Summer Has Entered the Chat 🌺

Paired it with the FAN BAG I up-cycled from an old leather jacket — because who needs bulky bags when you’ve got hands to wave at the sunshine ☀️ (or hold iced coffee)?

✨ Fashion’s most powerful statement? Wearing what you already own. ✨

Trends come and go, but the most sustainable choice isn’t the newest — it’s the one hanging in your closet right now.

🌱👕 Instead of chasing fast fashion, let’s rewear, restyle, and reimagine the pieces we already have.

Today’s Outfit features an original ’80s turquoise-blue silk set paired with the “Doreen” FAN BAG in Coral which is available in my web-shop in many different colours!

I took out the shoulder pads — my shoulders are naturally high, thanks to anxiety. 😂

A single drop can send ripples across an entire ocean. 🌊 Every choice we make — what we consume, how we treat the planet, the way we lift others up — shapes the future. ✨🌍✨

No action is too small. No voice is too quiet.

Small businesses are the heart of our communities, creating jobs and driving local economies. Now more than ever, they face challenges from inflation, big corporations, and economic uncertainty. By shopping local, we help sustain dreams, foster innovation, and keep our neighbourhoods thriving.

Hey Flashes world! 🗺️ I’m Zika aka ZIKAAMI, a one-woman workshop of wonders based in Montreal. Among many other things, I love turning forgotten leather jackets into timeless, multifunctional handbags — because fashion should have a conscience and a great second act.
