This style is pre-washed in rainwater at our home studio in Brisbane.
The Shallot Culottes are the most stunning shape, offering a super wide leg shape that mimics a skirt from the front. There is a deep inverted pleat at centre front and a small pleat on each side - these are held in shape with the pockets inside attaching to the front seam. This helps to keep the pleats in place and the fabric drapes from the waistband down to the hems.
The culottes have two front pockets which are lined with cotton and have a simple curved 'L shaped' opening. The back also has pleats, folding the fabric into the waistband but allowing it to flow. They look more like pants from the back as most of the fullness is focussed at the front and they do not have a dropped crutch, just a normal length.
The 7cm wide cotton waistband is elasticated with a soft knitted Japanese made elastic, which is then stitched in place all the way around with a random zig zag pattern. This creates a feature of the waistband if you choose to tuck your top in.
The ink colourway is a deep lush inky blue and the Jacquard weave of the fabric has a subtle botanical pattern. This fabric feels so amazingly soft and is a dream to wear.
See close up image of this fabric to appreciate the beautiful woven jacquard pattern.
FABRIC
Main: 149GSM Jacquard fabric is Japanese made from 100% Cupro which is a regenerated Cellulose fibre, created in a 'closed loop' using left over cotton fibres from the Ginning process.
Waistband: 100% Supima cotton, fabric made in Japan.
Elastic: made in Japan.
CARE
Handwash or machine wash in cold water with eco-friendly detergent in a wash bag.
Lightly steam to relax the fabric, or simply wear them and allow the heat from your body to do the same thing.
If you want to find out how to care for your garments sustainably, Dakotah and Sarah have written a blog story.
FIT
Designed to be a very loose leg style, so the drape of the fabric is allowed to flow beautifully. Buy true to your size (see measurement chart). If you are in between sizes you can down size as the elastic is generous.
The length of the Shallot Culottes are approx 87cm from the top of the waistband to the hem. This is 25cm shorter than the long option. This shorter length offers a cropped look for taller people or a perfect longer length for shorter people.
Our model Zhoe is 175cm tall and wears size small.
