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.

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)?

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