Toorop Patchwork Trousers – Upcycled Workwear – Lapis Blue – Size 2

599

The Toorop Patchwork Trousers embody the spirit of craftsmanship and individuality. These genderfluid trousers are constructed from carefully selected pieces of upcycled workwear, skillfully reimagined in a contemporary silhouette. Their relaxed, straight-leg cut offers both comfort and versatility, making them equally at home in a gallery, at an opening, or during everyday moments of expression.

Intricate hand-stitching and visible mending techniques, developed in the Hul le Kes Recovery Studio, add depth and texture to each garment. Every pair is truly one-of-a-kind, bearing the personal marks of both the textiles and the makers. A celebration of resilience and renewal, these trousers offer an understated yet outspoken statement.

Crafted entirely from post-consumer workwear cotton, in a palette of Lapis Blue hues*.

Size 2 (Comparable sizing: EU men ± 48-50, EU women ± 40, US men M, US women L), one-of-a-kind

“I want to paint people as if I were painting apples or flowers.”
Charley Toorop

Charley Toorop (1891–1955), a pioneering Dutch painter and lithographer, is renowned for her raw and powerful portraits. A fiercely independent figure, she defied artistic conventions and societal expectations throughout her life. Toorop’s intense observation of the human condition resonates with Hul le Kes’ philosophy: both embrace the honesty of imperfection and the beauty of resilience. Her bold, unpolished approach to form and colour continues to inspire our work, not least in garments like these, which carry the layered histories of both their materials and their makers.
