Cloud Corduroy Dungarees
Cloud Corduroy Dungarees
Planet friendly ethically hand-made corduroy dungarees! Based on a vintage dungarees fit, with a more nipped in waist and flattering hips to give them a more modern (but still comfy!) fit. Made with a soft, velvety mid-weight cord fabric, recycled from factory waste. Each pair features side pockets, back pockets, belt loops and a front pocket, with adjustable straps and buckle fastenings with buttons down the sides.
Dungarees come in sizes XS-XXL, the sizes available in the CLOUD colourway are listed below. We managed to scrape as much fabric together as we could to make one last size range in this colour before they’re gone for good!

Please check your measurements and consider how you’d like them to fit when selecting your size, they are high-waisted with wider hips and a straight leg. Please remember that dungarees aren’t meant to be your exact waist size like you would wear in trousers, this is to allow room to sit down and move in them, for example if you’re a 28” waist, the size S with a 30” waist would be your size. If you’re between sizes I’d recommend sizing up as the waist is fitted and buttons may come open when you move around in them. You can also size up for an oversized fit!
The fabrics used are recycled factory waste, this means they were end of the line fabrics. These are bought by small local companies to re-use - therefore saving them from going to landfill! These are then handpicked via video chat by me! This also means each pattern is limited edition and can’t be re-stocked.
I wanted to create pieces which are kind to the planet, but also to the people who made them. I worked with an NGO in Jaipur, in northern India which employs people from disadvantaged areas and trains them as tailors to give them proper fair wages and access to education and healthcare. A portion of the sales goes back to the NGO which runs a school for children and women from the same area. I was lucky enough to travel to India in 2018 and meet the wonderful people who run this project and the people who work for them and I’m so excited to be working with them again.
Because of lockdown restrictions in India each person employed by the project is working from their own home. In purchasing this item you are empowering people from disadvantaged areas to have financial independence and access to education, especially during such a difficult time in India.
