Our cropped trousers are crafted from artfully hand-dyed and handwoven cotton ikat patterned with polka dots and stripes. With a seat panel, inspired by vintage fisherman trousers, and a low patch pocket on one of the legs.

This fabric is handloom woven. Weaving irregularities are a pleasing characteristic of handloom woven items and should not be considered a fault. An age-old and complex technique of patterning cloth, whereby the pattern is pre-determined by tie-dyeing the yarn prior to weaving. The characteristic haziness of the pattern that emerges is a pleasing result of this hand process.
