Zakithi (stylised as Zakithi.studioss) is a South African streetwear and artistic fashion brand rooted in the philosophy of "building culture, not noise". Run by two brothers based out of Katlehong, the brand positions its pieces as individual works of art rather than mass-produced garments.The core foundation of their physical collections focuses heavily on heavy-duty, repurposed denim textiles. They actively practice circular fashion by sourcing and reimagining pre-existing denim items.Integrating paint, custom patches, and raw textiles directly onto the fabric.The brand collects high-quality vintage and discarded denim, stripping down the panels to prepare them for reconstruction.The studio operates on an anti-mass-production ethos. Each garment is intentionally designed as a one-of-one piece to guarantee clients never have a twin in the room.The silhouettes and design accents heavily reflect authentic South African township culture.
A collection of upcycled reimagined jackets. All have been modified in some way I love transforming a tired garment I to something that can be loved again. #thriftflip #upcyclers
So Glow Up Edit = vintage jeans + jackets + shirts + remnants + preloved bedsheets + artistry + circular slay! We met an amazing upcycler, Xib, the guy behind Vintage Tuklasan, at the Podium Mall in the Philippines. Tuklasan is a Tagalog word that means to discover.


This garment is a one-of-a-kind upcycled creation, meticulously hand-stitched from a piece of my father's old clothing. The original fabric has been transformed with bleaching, paint splatters, and applied patches to create a striking, fashion-forward look. Adding a truly personal touch, the strapless bra component is made from my high school-era bandana handkerchiefs, weaving a piece of my own history into this bold, reimagined design. It’s a wearable testament to heritage and personal style
