too much cafe culture
Auckland - what a slew of cafes and coffee shops, sidewalk eating - which means heaps of coffee beans, coffee roasting and coffee sacks. And what to do with all those sacks? Reminding me of the sugarbag years of the depression - it seemed that clothing was sensible - thus the trousers. My Grandad would be horrified.
Thanks to the team at MATARIKI - E Whitu Nga Whetu for the great styling and photo
Made from prewashed coffee sacks [that originally held organic coffee] these trousers are lined with black calico
Please contact me directly to purchase these trousers. They can be made to order. $150

Margaret LewisIts not just about fashion. I live a life surrounded by textile - in particular wool. Its in my room, in my car, on my desk at work... Designing handknits and selling them is not my sole source of survival but it is what I love. I'm lucky that this love is supported by other things that I love, including working for The Big Idea and also helping to facilitate the careers of emerging artists. I feel truly blessed.
