Introducing the Cleo trousers by Emily from Mahika Kala. These trousers embody the spirit of flower power and exude a charming boho feel, making them the ideal companion for your galavanting summer adventures.
The Cleo trousers are made from 100% lightweight cotton, a fabric known for its softness and breathability. They are 100% naturally dyed with madder, resulting in a rich and captivating red hue that adds a touch of vibrancy to your outfit. The use of natural dyes reflects Emily's commitment to sustainability and environmental consciousness. Each pair is meticulously crafted by hand, ensuring a unique and beautiful piece.
What sets these trousers apart is the intricate hand dabu printing technique employed by skilled artisans in Rajasthan. The daisy print adorning the fabric is a testament to the rich artistic heritage and craftsmanship of the region. The delicate flowers create a whimsical and romantic touch, adding a sense of playfulness to your ensemble.
Designed for both style and comfort, the Cleo trousers feature a high elasticated waist that provides a secure and flattering fit. The tapered leg design enhances your silhouette, while deep pockets offer functionality and convenience. They also come with a tie detail, adding a feminine touch and allowing you to customise the fit according to your preference.

Material and Care
100% natural plant dyed lightweight fabric so there will be variations. Sometimes the ink process causes colour irregularities or print marks from the blocks.
It's important to note that natural dyes, while beautiful and environmentally friendly, can be susceptible to certain products we use in our daily lives. To ensure the longevity and vibrancy of your naturally dyed garment, it's essential to handle it with care and take some precautions.
Acids and alkalis have the potential to alter the colour of the garment, so it's important to be mindful when wearing your item. For instance, deodorants and skin products containing acidic ingredients can interact with the natural dyes, leading to colour changes or fading. Similarly, acidic foods like tomatoes or lemons, if accidentally spilled or rubbed against the fabric, may have a similar effect.
Keep out of prolonged direct sunlight as the natural dye will fade.
Hand wash only in warm water with eco detergent. Dry naturally, preferably in the shade to prevent colour loss.
