The Zalea jacket stands as a unique wearable art piece, crafted from upcycled fabric scarves and discarded textiles. Each fabric scrap is carefully chosen and hand-sewn, forming layered textures that embody sustainable creativity. With its oversized silhouette and cascading fabric strips, the jacket adopts a sculptural quality that merges fashion with environmental consciousness. Designed to challenge mass production, the Zalea jacket invites wearers to embrace individuality and craftsmanship while honoring the beauty of reused materials.
