About the print:

Dreamy, romantic, and full of hope — Still I Rise was created for those who meet each day with a loving and tenacious heart, come what may. We layered together several historic engravings from the 18th century to make this piece— including English forest landscapes by artist William Woolett— and married them with the captivating image of a woman boldly greeting the sun. There’s something so strong in her posture, and we love that she’s stepping forward to meet the day in her bare feet with joy! The trim on the waistband & pocket comes from an intricate watercolour-and-ink drawing of an American heritage quilt from the 1930’s, which pairs beautifully with the charcoal and beige backdrop.

55% linen, 45% bamboo/wood viscose. Handwash (or machine wash gentle cycle) and hang to dry. Iron to finish if needed.

Artist Pants are one-size and will fit approximately size 4/6 (S) to size 12/14 (L). General meaurements: length 86cm. Waist (flat) 84cm around, and with elastic stretched 104cm around, hips 117cm. Model is 5'2 for reference. *Suspenders not included.

“Just like the moons and suns,
With certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I’ll rise.”
-Maya Angelou

“Something good will come of all things yet.”

- Jack Kerouac

“It was only a sunny smile,
and cost little in the giving,
but like morning light it scattered the night,
and made the day worth living.”
-F. Scott Fitzgerald

How To Wear

+

Crafted from soft, natural linen & bamboo viscose, our Artist Pants are effortlessly stylish and pair well with just about everything! We’ll be wearing ours on sunny days with a gauzy tank and sandals, and layering them with cozy knits in the cooler months. These pants are endlessly versatile — whether worn with a simple tee or elevated with a crisp white shirt & blazer for a relaxed take on work wear. And don’t be afraid to mix them with other prints — try a stripe pullover or a floral scarf for an eclectic, on-trend look :)

Our Muse

+

The heroine, the brave-of-heart. Women with unbreakable spirit who welcome the promise of each new day. Women who rise like the sun.

More Inspo

+

Although the trim on our Still I Rise design appears at first glance to be a regular floral pattern, it’s actually a print we created using a detailed watercolour & ink painting from the 1930’s. In a time before easy and affordable access to cameras, textile and quilt patterns in the rural US were often documented through meticulously done drawings and paintings that captured every detail of the fabric the way a photograph would. These drawings — often done of prize-winning quilts — are works of art unto themselves.

The Poem

+

If you wake in the morning
and your heart is a stranger
wandering the rooms of your chest,
then open a window. Feel the pulse of light.
Your feet are on the earth, they know 
the way home. Pour coffee
like you would to welcome an old friend.
