Maybe you've noticed in our designs that we love the practicality of having pockets, wherever we go. We're proud to share this newest addition with cozy pockets, rooted in sustainable practices.
Cotton threads were naturally dyed in indigo and pericón (a local marigold), then warped and handwoven on a large wooden pedal loom. Upon receiving the textiles at our studio in Antigua, we knew how we wanted to combine them to create bottoms, which we have done in Trousers and this Skirt forms. Seamstress extraordinaire Betty made our humble sketches come to life with this beautiful garment construction. What a collaboration from start to finish.
Elastic waist makes this piece comfortable and flexible for sizing. Please refer to the measurements below.
