Ira Pants (One of a Kind)

There is something very special about wearing a textile that has already lived a life.

Our Ira Kantha Pants are made from vintage cotton sarees, layered and held together with the familiar running stitches of Kantha. The fabric carries traces of its past through its colours, prints, soft fading and hand-repaired details.

We have shaped it into an easy, wide-legged pair of pants that feels relaxed, expressive and completely natural to wear. The fabric moves beautifully, and the simple silhouette allows the textile to remain the focus.

Each pair is one of a kind.

The Textile

Kantha began as a way of bringing old sarees together and giving them another life through hand-stitching.

The tiny running stitches hold the layers together, while the original prints, colours and signs of use remain visible. We leave these details intact because they are part of the beauty and history of the textile.

Fit

The Kantha Pants have a relaxed fit with an elasticated waist and a wide, flowing leg.

They are comfortable enough for everyday wear, while the character of the textile makes them feel anything but ordinary. Please check the Size, Material, Care tab for more details.
