The pants are hand-spun and hand-woven by our team in Assam and sewn in our studio in Ladakh. The silk is called eri silk and cultivated by Assamese tribal communities South West of Guwahati. It is a wild silk and the moth leaves a hole in the cocoon as it has to be empty before it can be processed. Therefore it has a structure which is rather similar to linen. No chemicals or pesticides have been used during the process. The pants have an elastic waistband and feature two front pockets. The finishing is entirely with French seams as well as blind stitch. So comfortable, classic and made for every body type. The model wears size S.

The fabric and the dye will change over time - the silk is becoming softer and the dyes lighter. Please cold wash only with mild detergent and dry in the shade. Do not soak.
