Thriftflip: I turn rejected ukay-ukay bags into high-fashion masterpieces. Faced with unsellable, wrinkled, and hole-ridden vintage bags, I chose to create art. This streetwear piece is purely hand-sewn, featuring a vibrant, custom-embroidered cat on the back. I endured hours forcing a needle through heavy canvas, leather, and rubber glue just to bring this to life. Even better? The hood and backpack are fully detachable. It’s unique, sustainable, and proof that thrift can become luxury."

Dungarees made from recycled-upcycled off cut Denim fabric. Attached & Stitched with heavy duty thread to last many years, and serve the purpose of dungarees as work wear and manual physical labor garment.

The Soul of the Stitch: Double-Upcycled ​Witness the evolution of sustainable craft. This large backpack is a third-life evolution, born from an already upcycled jacket. ​I transformed it through the art of hand-stitching for superior durability. Unlike mass-produced bags, the inner lining is rugged denim, integrated and hand-sewn directly into the outer layers to create a rock-solid core. It’s "industrial-grade" handmade armor—proving that circular fashion is a story of resilience built to last
