This piece really reflects a shift in my style. I used to approach things in a more rough, intuitive way, without much structure. With these pants, I wanted to try something new—something more minimal, but also something that could be worn in a more elegant way. I was really drawn to that contrast: a clean, simple look on the outside, while there’s actually a lot of depth behind it. At first glance, the pants seem very understated, almost basic, but that’s exactly what makes them special to me. Especially today, when so much is factory-made and fast-produced, I feel like the connection to craftsmanship is getting lost. This piece is kind of my response to that.
The process was very time-consuming and intense. I cut small strips of leather, wove them together by hand, and then stitched everything into the final shape. I worked on it for two weeks straight, around nine hours every day. It’s a very repetitive process, and at times it did get a bit exhausting. But at the same time, I realized how much I enjoy that kind of repetition—working on something I can fully control and repeating steps to improve them. Even when it felt frustrating, I always had the final piece in mind, and I knew it was going to look good. This was the first time I worked like that, and it made the whole experience even more meaningful. It’s one of my favorite pieces—not something I’d wear all the time, but something I really value because of the time, focus, and intention behind it.
