Two panel trousers 25
Created for the Paris showroom, these trousers combine layers of history and handwork.
The underlayer is made from antique French linen — soft yet durable, carrying years of wear in its fibers. Overlaid is an intricate needle lace panel sourced in France, carefully repaired before construction. This beautiful needle lace features a figurative motif — a central human form surrounded by scrolling vines and floral details. Each element was built stitch by stitch, with padded outlines and delicate thread bridges, reflecting the artistry and patience of its original makers.
The juxtaposition of solid linen and delicate lace creates a striking two-panel effect, balancing structure with lightness.
The waist is adjustable with both an elastic band and drawstring ties, offering comfort and flexibility. The drawstring itself is crafted from antique linen, finished with hand-stitched buttonholes using 100% silk thread. A side tie detail completes the construction, allowing the trousers to be styled with ease.
Every seam is hand-finished, honoring the fragility of the antique materials while giving them new form. One-of-a-kind.
