Kasuri : carbon pants
These wide-leg pants have a full silhouette in a jauntily cropped length. With an elastic waistband for a comfortable yet snug fit, they're easy to pull on with your favourite tee and sandals. Loose volume tapers to a gathered hem at the mid calf, while side in-seam pockets keep things practical. These pants are beautifully made and washed after construction, giving the textured, mid-weight cotton a lovely, intentionally rumpled finish.
Please note : these pants run small in size - please check the measurements before purchasing.

Woven and constructed in Fukuoka since 1971, Kurume Kasuri (aka Giemon) aim to modernise a traditional weaving style which has a history in Japan reaching back over 220 years.
Kasuri (絣) is a process of skilfully binding warp and/or weft threads before they are indigo dyed. Once woven, undyed sections create complex and distinctive patterns, often with soft or 'blurred' edges; the verb kasureru (かすれる) means "to blur" or "to fade".
In 1957, the traditional techniques of Kurume Kasuri were designated an Important Intangible Cultural Property of Japan, and the company is proud to preserve this beautiful tradition with simple designs for daily use.
