ZIKAAMI – Slow Fashion with a Twist (and a Stitch!)

Welcome to ZIKAAMI, where old leather jackets get a second chance, and handbags are more than just accessories — they’re stories waiting to be carried.

I’m a one-woman workshop of wonders crafting each piece by hand in my Montreal studio, fuelled by coffee, a passion for slow fashion, and an uncanny ability to talk to leather like it’s an old friend. I believe in giving forgotten materials a new life — because just like a good vintage find, everything (and everyone) deserves a comeback moment. I am dedicated to creating timeless, multifunctional handbags and accessories. Every stitch represents a stand against fast fashion, prioritising thoughtful consumption and mindful production without compromising on style.

Up-cycling is my superpower, and slow fashion is my north star. Every bag, every accessory, every limited-edition clothing piece is made with love, care, and a deep respect for ethically produced fashion. When you support ZIKAAMI, you're not just buying a handbag — you’re investing in craftsmanship, the magic of small businesses (seriously, we need you!) and a future where fashion respects both people and the planet. 

So, whether you’re here to shop, get inspired, or just hear a great story about how a leather jacket turned into your next favourite bag, welcome. Let’s make slow fashion the future — one up-cycled piece at a time.

Thank you for being part of this movement — your choice makes a difference.
