Des Voeux Botanic Dye Trousers Level 2 - Tea Gall Charcoal

HK$1,650.00

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 trousers' captivating tyrian-charcoal hue is achieved through a meticulous, multi-step dyeing process rooted in ancient techniques. The journey begins by immersing the fabric in a hot bath of Chinese Gall dye, allowing every thread to absorb the essence and establish a maroon foundation. 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. The trousers are then dipped into a hot black tea dye, where the combination of tannins from the tea leaves and the deep tones of the Chinese Gall creates a complex, alluring colour. To deepen the Tyrian purple shade, this process is repeated multiple times, with each immersion intensifying the rich, sophisticated hue.

  • Hand dyed with Chinese Gall and Black Tea

  • 100% Cotton

  • Designed with a drop crotch and relaxed straight leg fit.

  • Fly area incorporated with Cobrax snap buttons

  • Each piece will have its own distinctive pattern

  • Labelled with a vintage batik dye tab

  • Given that the dyeing process is done by hand, it is important to note that there may be variations in colour and occasional colour accumulation at specific points

  • Please note actual colour and pattern may vary from product image
