Issue No. 1: ZAIDI

Leather jackets, handbags, and more.

Founded by brothers Han and Sal, Zaidi is a custom leatherwear house built on a foundation of familial trust and a singular "soul mission": to create high-quality, functional art meant to be lived in. While Han serves as the brand’s Creative Director and public face, Sal helps is the engine behind the scenes, constantly workshopping together that allow their vision to flourish.
They collaborate with talented artists like Kushnaz Gill to produce pieces that are less about fashion and more about personal legacy.

For the Zaidi team, every piece is a literal extension of the creator. They aren’t just selling clothing, but "a piece of ourselves." This deep sense of purpose was found in early rejection, where the team navigated a relentless sea of "nos" in search of a single "yes." That hard won validation fueled their commitment to the craft, proving that Zaidi isn’t just about the love of style, but a profound love for the people they create for, ensuring the right product always finds the right person.

You can always find the brothers within the shop helping people discover their next new forever piece.
