But since they were late getting printed we’re going to say that  they are “new” for Fall. Which is fine since these are great for transitional weather anyways.

So here are the new Bully pants:

 bull-dog-pants-smaller1.jpg

An adorable French Bulldog is silk-screened on charcoal grey pants. But these aren’t just any ordinary pants, they are Thai Fishermen style pants.

If your not familiar with this style, they are one-sized pants that you fold over (the excess material) and tie up with strings from behind. You can view instructions illustrating the process here.

They are extremely comfortable and easy to move around in, making them suitable for yoga, the beach, pj bottoms etc yet are also easily dressed up with a nice top if you want to wear them out and about on the town. Even pregnant ladies like wearing them too!

They are made of 100% cotton and are a Fair Trade product.

Wait, a tunic? Or maybe a dress?

 It all depends on how you wear it really!

 Either way, it’s a great top made with “Mushroom” colour burn-out material. We printed the bunny standing alert on it….so cute!

It’s shown above matched with another great necklace piece by Precious Pink.

First we made necklaces, now we’re making other offerings such as kilt pins…


…and earrings too!

 

These have been  a lot of fun to work on, since I get to go out and gather what goes inside those glass bulbs. The studio is close to an industrial neighborhood, train tracks, park land and a hydro field so there’s plenty of wild flora to be found in the “wilds” of Toronto!
