Light Caramel Corduroy Dungarees
Light Caramel Corduroy Dungarees
Planet friendly ethically hand-made corduroy dungarees! Based on a vintage dungarees fit, with a more nipped in waist and flattering wider hips to give them a more modern (but still comfy!) fit. Made with a soft, velvety thick 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.

The measurements in 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. They tend to fit true to size and have a slightly oversized fit, so I wouldn’t recommend sizing up unless you wanted a baggy look.

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!
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 women 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 women who work for them and I’m so excited to be working with them again.
