The LEIJA trousers have a long crotch and an angular hem with large pockets, creating a sculptural silhouette. The statement design makes these trousers perfect for festive occasions, but they are also great for travelling and everyday use. You can easily adjust the leg opening and open the seam a bit to give the trousers more space.

The design is published in TAUKO Magazine issue No. 7

Designer:
Before working as head of design for TAUKO Magazine, Kaisa Rissanen ran a fashion brand together with TAUKO’s editor-in-chief, Mila Moisio. The first version of the LEIJA trousers was created over ten years ago as a custom-made garment. Over the years, this design has become a favourite for many musicians, actors, and visual artists who have admired the trousers for their unique, practical, and effortless style.

Fit and size:
Choose your size based on your waist circumference. Add a recommended positive ease of approximately 1.2–2.4"/3–6 cm. Pick the size that is the best match for your waist.

Fabric recommendations:
The LEIJA trousers work best in medium-weight woven fabrics. A cotton fabric with some stiffness, such as poplin, is lovely for this piece as it supports the sculptural shape. The green sample trousers are made from “Organic Stripe Cotton” (100% cotton, 4.13 oz/140 gsm) and the yellow sample is made from “Organic Papertouch Cotton Poplin” (100% cotton, 3.54 oz/120 gsm). Both fabrics are by Mind the Maker from METERMETER
