Black Crepe Embroidered Wide-Leg Trousers - L

Black to the point of disappearing, until the light catches the hems and the red shows up — little hand-stitched flames marching up the cuffs, a crochet rosette riding the edge, a whipstitch of scarlet thread running the bottom seam like a signature. Drapey crepe that moves before you do. Someone built these to be looked at twice: once for the silhouette, once for the detail you missed.
