POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

After weeks of trying to recover over $15,000 worth of inventory lost by DHL, it was YOU who helped us finally get the answers we needed.

Thanks to everyone who shared our story, tagged DHL, and helped spread the word, our situation reached Tia, a Black woman executive at DHL who stepped in and helped us recover our package within just 24 HOURS! 🎉

As a small, Black woman-owned business, this loss could have been devastating. But because of our incredible community, we get to celebrate a very different ending. 🤎

To Tia, THANK YOU for taking our concerns seriously and helping us get our inventory back. You're the real MVP! 👑

And to every single person who commented, shared, tagged, or sent us words of encouragement, we cannot thank you enough.

While we hope no other small business has to go through what we experienced, this reminded us just how powerful it is when a community comes together.

We couldn't have done this without you. THANK YOU! 🫶🏿✨

An update on @dhlus @dhl_global losing $15K of our inventory

As we've previously shared, DHL lost over $15,000 worth of our inventory, including pieces that were supposed to be shipped to our customers.

Since sharing our story, we’ve been in contact with DHL's team via DM. Unfortunately, we have no further updates or information.

We've also submitted two formal claims online per their request, but both times they did not get back to us or said there was no claim on file (despite previously giving us a claim number as confirmation)

We've called DHL every single day, but these conversations have been unproductive, often contradictory, and at times, we've been met with rude and dismissive responses.

As of today, we will also be filing a police report and lawsuit.

For a small, growing business like ours, a loss of this magnitude is devastating. And what's made this experience even more frustrating is the lack of clear answers, accountability, and urgency in helping us find a resolution.

To everyone who has shared our story, tagged DHL, sent us encouraging messages, or shown us support in any way: THANK YOU. 🤎

And to our customers, thank you for your continued patience and understanding as we navigate this incredibly difficult situation. We're doing everything we can to make things right.

We're asking our community to please continue amplifying our story and tagging @dhlglobal @dhlus. We need them to understand that this situation is unacceptable, not just for Zigleys, but for any small business working hard to grow and serve its customers.

We deserve answers. We deserve accountability. And we deserve a resolution.

@dhlglobal lost over $15,000 worth of our inventory. And as a small, growing Black woman-owned business, the impact has been devastating.

These were pieces we invested in, worked hard to create, and were preparing to ship to customers who have been patiently waiting for their orders.

Despite our efforts to get answers and resolve this situation, we’re still left with more questions than solutions. We've now filed the claim twice and both times they either haven't gotten back to us or said no claim was filed. It's clear they are not taking this situation seriously, and we deserve accountability.

When you're a small business funding your own growth, a loss of this magnitude isn't just an inconvenience. It impacts our customers, our cash flow, and our ability to continue growing.

We're doing everything we can to find a resolution and get our customers the pieces they've been waiting for. But we need DHL to take this situation seriously and help us get answers.

To our Zigleys community: thank you for your patience, your encouragement, and for continuing to support us through one of the most challenging moments we've faced as a business. It means more than you know. 🤎

Please help us amplify this story by sharing this post and tagging @dhlus and @dhlglobal. We just want accountability, answers, and a resolution.

Silver lovers, your time has officially come. 🤍✨

After YEARS of comments asking when we’d create our signature hair jewelry in silver, Daria is finally sharing the news: Zigleys is now available in White Gold.

Same signature designs you love. Now in a silver-toned finish made for the locs, braids and twists of our white gold and silver lovers. 👑

And yes, there’s a reason we chose white gold instead of silver. Want Daria to break down why? Let us know in the comments. 👀

Pre-order the White Gold Collection now. Items begin shipping September 20.

What started as a question, “Why can’t I find real gold jewelry for my locs?” became a journey of research, craftsmanship, and deep cultural intention.

We set out to create fine jewelry designed to honor our ancestors and the artistry of braids, locs, twists, and curls.

Years later, our hair jewelry has adorned the crowns of Black people across the globe and has been featured in @vogue and @cosmopolitan.

This is more than adornment. It’s our crown, celebrated as it always should be. ✨

Our white gold collection is on pre-sale now. Shop now at zigleys.com 👑

Zigleys started as a passion project and a labor of love. Essence Fest affirmed that we truly are doing something important. Thank you to everyone who stopped by. We will continue fulfilling our purpose which is to celebrate Black beauty and culture and create jewelry worthy of our crowns.

Our natural hair was always beautiful, professional, luxurious, and worthy. We don’t need gold for that to be true, gold is simply one of the ways we honor it.

Jewelry for locs, braids, and twists. Zigleys started as a question. Why does hair that carries so much history, culture, and pride get treated as an afterthought when it comes to luxury?

Our founder sat down with @authentic_african to talk about what inspired Zigleys, and the real steps it took to bring it to life. Not just the vision, but the work behind it.

Every piece we create is intentional. From the materials to the meaning.

This is jewelry for your crown. ✨

Zigleys is making history again.

Beginning on November 11th, Zigleys will be available @ Wolf & Badger SoHo, NYC, the renowned retailer known for selecting the best independent global brands.

But this moment means more than placement on a shelf. It represents Zigleys dedication to craftsmanship, artistry, and innovation. And, it’s more proof that excellence and culture coexist effortlessly.

When I started Zigleys, I wanted to create something that celebrated the beauty of Our hair. Something worthy of our heritage and our brilliance.

To know our pieces will soon be in @wolfandbadger SoHo feels like a victory for every person who’s ever been told their hair was “unprofessional,” “too different,” or “too much.”

Because it was never too much. It was always an art.

In the coming weeks, we’ll be sharing more information, as well as behind-the-scenes peeks into the design of our store display and installation process. Stay tuned, and thank you for being part of our journey.

Zigleys started as a product just for me, but it became my love letter to Black hair.⁠
⁠
It was my way of saying we are beautiful and absolutely worthy of the best.⁠
⁠
In a time where we have gold and diamond necklaces, bracelets, and earrings, we knew that our hair - our crowns - should have high-quality options too.⁠
⁠
Zigleys is here to remind us that our natural hair is beautiful, classy, professional and luxurious. Zigleys is here to honor that beauty with jewelry worthy of our crowns.⁠
