A fun wide leg pant with slightly cropped hem. Complete with an elastic waist and side pockets - comfortable, versatile, and great for layering. Made from cloth that is as meaningful as it is beautiful; handspun and handwoven kala cotton cloth. 

Fabric made through personal labour is known as khadi - cloth handwoven from handspun threads. Khadi had a central role to play in countering the displacement of family life that took place during industrialization and British colonization in India. It embodies an idea of cultural self-sufficiency with deep roots in Indian identity. This khadi cloth is made with kala cotton, an “old world” indigenous cotton which is adapted to low water requirements and extremely arid conditions. It is ecologically sustainable and makes the most exquisite cotton cloth.
