Des Voeux Botanic Dye Trousers Level 1 - Gall Grey
The Des Voeux Trousers feature an elongated drop crotch, along with a straight and slightly tapered cut, resulting in a refined and streamlined silhouette. Adding to the robust design, Cobrax snap buttons were incorporated to enhance the modern and utilitarian appeal.
The vintage plum grey hue of the Des Voeux Trousers is achieved through a laborious dyeing process that relies on continuous agitation. Chinese Gall, a natural dye material rich in tannic acid, serves as the primary colouring agent. Chinese Gall, refers to the gall nuts that form on Chinese sumac trees (Rhus Chinensis) in response to insect infestations. These gall nuts have been used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine, ink-making, and textile dyeing. It is combined with mineral mordants to help the fabric fibres more effectively absorb the dye. This meticulous, hand-crafted dyeing method imbues the fabrics with a rustic, time-worn charm. The continuous movement and manipulation of the material during dyeing allows the vintage aesthetic to permeate each garment. The result is a uniquely aged, yet refined appearance that reflects the traditional craftsmanship underlying their production.
