DEYI Living | 闲云 XIANYUN | PANTS

PHILOSOPHY

In the Chinese philosophy, 闲云 XIANYUN embodies a free and serene state of mind, far from the frivolities of society, symbolized by the unpredictable flight of the clouds in the sky. This state of mind that aspires to harmony and inner peace is perfectly illustrated by the way of life of the ancient Chinese literati. These cultivated men and women lived a simple life in full consciousness, close to Nature.

Our XIANYUN pants made of natural fibres guarantee a freedom of movement at all times, with elegance. Comfortable, lightweight, versatile... It's one of our basics. We cannot live without it. It is a unique piece that suits all types of bodies.

COMPOSITION

100% indigenous organic cotton

Hand-spinning cotton yarns & handwoven cotton on traditional looms

Indigo dyeing

DYEING

All our garments are naturally dyed with indigo leaves in the mountains of Guizhou. At DEYI 德逸, we only use natural dyes and no chemicals, because we are committed to design while respecting Nature. Thus, our fabrics can present some differences of tone in their surface that depends on local meteorological conditions & on the way in which each artisan has worked the material.

Each fabric is unique: they are a testimony of several days of handmade work. Small imperfections in the weave or dyeing cannot be considered as defects. They are inherent to the artisanal character of our pieces. Imperfections means humans behind your clothes.

TRACEABILITY & SUSTAINABILITY

All our cotton fabrics are made with care and love by our female artisans from the Dong indigenous community, according ancestral gesture. They work in small remote villages in the province of Guizhou, in Rongjiang County. We invite you to read the moving stories of our artisans on our website.

The final garment manufacturing is made in our sewing workshop in Beijing, China. You will find further information about our impact in our commitment section.
