Description
why soil
that lovely frock
with cooking,
painting,
potting,
and pottering
rather wrap up
in something pretty
and hardy
and made
to take the spills
and spoils.
Part of The Calico Rail – collection of timeless garments for women who do.
The volume, femininity and grace,
the ease with which she wears her ample skirt
and rolled up sleeves.
She is unapologetically voluptuous.
Her skirts are ample and her hands are firm and able.
de Boerin is not a fashionable concept of a woman,
nor do her clothes prescribe her movement or her shape.
Instead, the garments fulfil a purpose
and allow her to do what she needs to do
and be who she needs to be.
100% Cotton Canvas, thick and structured – fresh, natural and honest.
Reversible – Wear it back to front to skip a wash.
Two XL hip-pockets – for tools or treats.
The shapes are timeless and forgiving – simple, free and unassuming.
Each garment is made with love by the women of Stellenbosch Crafts Alive.
Made by hand, of course, so no two are perfect or alike.
