Third reincarnation trousers.
First life, cotton saris. Second life, kantha blankets made from hand-stitched layers of worn sari. Third life, these trousers. Can you get any more sustainable?
Kantha is all hand-stitched which adds strength to the layers of cotton. Women in Bengal typically use old saris and cloth and layer them with kantha stitching to make a blanket, throw, or bedspread.
Each design is different and due to the fabric being vintage, some show beautiful signs of age such as a patch or faiding.
The pants have two side pockets and one on the back. The waist is elasticated and has a draw string.
This is size 2 or medium. When fully stretched, the waistband measures 41" and when not stretched, 30"
