Notes

Oversized dress in checked blue ‘Kelsch’ cotton blend fabric. Kelsch’ fabrics were initially hand-woven by rural farmer families and the different patterns of this traditional fabric represented the respective family affiliation. Nowadays this cultural gift has almost been forgotten, and  there are only a few weaving mills left in the Alsace region. This fabric was custom developed with the weaver, undyed wool has been added to give the fabric a bit more of a coarse hand, as well as adding warmth.

Short stand collar and a partial concealed front button fastening. Long sleeves with a one piece split construction at the sleeve hem. Features horizontal darts and smocking detailing on the sides of the skirt to create volume. Side seam pockets. 

Each garment comes as part of a hand-numbered edition.

Scarlett is 173cm and a UK size 6-8. Here she is wearing S.

Unkruid is a collaborative project that was founded in Antwerp in 2023, Every shape, finish and pattern is researched in-house. Materials are sourced from artisan textile mills and sometimes developed in collaboration with them. An important part of Unkruid's fabric research focuses on the process of ageing through wear and washing. Their design philosophy and fabric selection celebrates nostalgic pastoral sentiments as well as contemporary technical sensibilities.
