Matter: eco-conscious travelling pants

“Quieres tener buen aspecto, pero estar cómoda. Quieres correr bajo la lluvia, y secarte en pocos minutos al lado de la fogata en la playa, y simplemente cambiarte la parte de arriba con un crop-top para la noche. Piensas en un par de pantalones con la elegancia de la seda pero tan fáciles de cuidar como si fueran de algodón, para tirar a la lavadora cuando llegues a casa, listos para tu próxima aventura.”

Yvonne Süner y Reyung Ho son las fundadoras de Matter, una aventura fascinante. Una firma inspirada por el tipo de viaje que ellas aman: “impulsado por una historia, basado en la comunidad, y construido con una relación y compromisos directos respetando el origen.” Para su primera serie, Matter lanzó una colección de pantalones funcionales especialmente diseñados para viajar: “perfectos para descubrir el mundo en ellos.

Inspirados en los diseños tradicionales de India, Vietnam y Tailandia, los pantalones de Matter ofrecen versatibilidad y un ajuste fácil sin cremalleras, sólo botones y cinturones de tela, de manera que los pueden usar mujeres con tipos diferentes. Usando estampación artesanal y tela tejida en coperativas indias, están ofreciendo a los artesanos textiles la oportunidad de tener mejores oportunidades económicas preservando sus tradiciones.

Los pantalones han sido probados, tal y como Ren explica en una entrevista en Buro 247: “Cada miembro del equipo los viste en viajes y durante el día, y los lava y viste te nuevo para ver como aguantan, así que los propotipos los testeamos en el día a día. También tenemos gente que los prueba en diferentes climas y entornos. Han sido vestidos tan lejos como Islandia y Nicaragua, y la respuesta ha sido muy buena.”

Así que si estás buscando algo bonito, cómodo y al margen de las tendencias para vestir este verano, Matter podría ser una buena elección. Estamos seguros que quedarán genial combinados con algunos de los modelos más veraniegos de Preventi La Donna.

“You want to look good, and still be comfortable.You want to run in the rain, dry it in minutes by the beach fire, and simply change it up with a cropped top for the evening. A pair of pants that is silk-sumptuous but cotton-easy to care for, to throw in the machine when you get home, ready for your next adventure.”

Yvonne Süner and Renyung Ho are the founders of Matter, a fascinating enterprise. A brand inspired by the type of travel they love: “story driven, community based, build on direct relationships and a commitment to respecting provenance.” For their first series, Matter launched a collection of functional pants specially designed for travel: “perfect for seeing the world in”.

Inspired by traditional designs from India, Vietnam and Thailand, Matter pants offer versatility and easy fit  with no zips, only buttons, wraps and fabric belts, with mutiple fittings for multiple women. Using artisan printed and loomed fabric made by Indian cooperatives, they are giving textile artisans the possibility to expand their economic opportunities.

The pants are travel tested, as Ren explains in a Buro 247 interview: “Each member of the team wears them on travels and throughout the day, and washes and wears them again to see how they hold up in terms of after care so prototypes get tested in daily life. We also have field testers who wear the pants in different climates and environments. They’ve worn them as far as Iceland and Nicaragua recently, and give us great feedback on how they hold up.”

So if you are searching for something beautiful, comfortable outside of fashion trends to wear this summer, Matter could be a good choice. We are sure that they will look terrific matched with some of Summer Preventi La Donna styles.
