This funky piece of wearable art is part of our collaboration with Publisher Textiles. Each pair is printed and made in Australia! The cute wide leg culottes take their name from the 60’s stunner and inspiration behind the song Brown Sugar by The Rolling Stones, Marsha Hunt. Featuring an elastic back, zip and button closure and generous side pockets, they are perfect for everyday wear. Team them up with a pair of heels and cropped top for an effortless party look.
These pants feature the 'Sisters at Watarru' design by Noreen Dixon. In this design, Noreen depicts the story of two female ancestors, sisters, in the Watarru area in South Australia.
These sisters are fleeing a man who is pursuing them, hiding in rockholes and caves amid the sandy desert plains. The hypnotising background patterns of lines and dots represent the vast sands of the desert. The younger sister is pregnant; this is indicated by the large symbol of concentric circles,
which is the design painted onto pregnant women’s bellies for ceremony. The motif of two smaller circles connected by strong lines represents the body paint of the older sister, whose chest would be painted with this design. The oldest sister is caring for her younger sister and helping to keep them hidden from the man pursuing them.
Hand printed in Leichhardt as a 2 colour print on 55% linen 45% cotton.
Treat this handmade garment with love and it will love you back! Cold hand wash, drip dry in shade, warm iron. Avoid the tumble dryer and dry cleaner.
Being handmade there may be some print variations, making each garment unique.
Sizing:
These pants are designed to sit high on the waist, if you are between sizes, go for the larger size. Please see size chart below:
