NEPTUNE PANTS

〰️

NEPTUNE PANTS 〰️

tie up waist • 100% linen • box pleats • wide leg • back pockets

  • made from breathable and lightweight linen, these pants come with that soft, lived-in feeling built right in. the tie-up waist means they stay comfortable and perfectly fitting.
    the open-leg design keeps you cool and lets these pants flow beautifully. with a close fit in the hips and wide leg, they are easy to both dress up and keep casual!

  • This linen is quite literally made for slow fashion! It is a durable, long-lasting fibre derived from flax, a hardy plant that requires far less water than cotton, as well as no fertilizer or pesticides. Nearly every part of the flax plant is used in creating this high-quality fabric, minimizing waste and becoming a product you can feel good about wearing (take that, fast fashion)!

  • COLOURS: Currant, Sand Dollar, Ocean, Kelp

about your textile artist

gemma is a self taught creative living in so-called “ottawa”. here you’ll see lots and lots of fibre arts, as well as whatever may result from their frequent hyper-fixations across many other mediums.

it is their personal mission to use deadstock, thrifted, and otherwise forsaken fabrics and materials wherever possible. in the rare case they order directly from a distributor, it will always be as much of a local, community-based seller and as sustainable a product as can be.

they happily take on commissions, any inquiries can be made here!

why me, i hear you ask?

Just received my custom order and I could not be more pleased! Gemma listened to my ideas, carefully considered what I was hoping to achieve and then used their expertise to design and create exactly what I had pictured in my mind. The result is completely unique, custom design of great quality and totally affordable. I will definitely be using Undertow Textiles for more of my own items and for great gifts for friends and family.”
