S4/ Two Pleats Cotton – Cotton Wool Blend Pants

Our development is accompanied by a great awareness of quality, while favoring local production, we have directed our research in Italy during the year 2021. After many months, we found a small traditional workshop south of Naples that is a blessing.

Our genius craftsman created his workshop at the age of eighteen, in the year 2000. Before that, his parents had also had their own trouser workshop. His only limitations were the space and the recruitment of seamstresses. Apart from that, what finesse, everything is possible! With our new workshop, we develop our volumes and bring a great craft aesthetic. We can work in-depth on models and details, far from the large industrial platforms.

A close collaboration that allows us – it’s very nice – to go to Italy from time to time and come back with a head full of new ideas. The keywords of a Scavini pant are now refinement, craftsmanship & localism. A very luxurious pant, cut from Italian or English fabric. The equivalent of the models of great luxury brands.

A pair of trousers is not just fabric. It also includes a belt lining, pocket linings, and buttons. And they are all Italian!

The belt lining consists of three layered fabrics. The upper band is made of Oxford cotton, and the lower band is made of undyed ecru cotton, separated by an embroidered anti-slip piping by Scavini. The pocket linings are cut from the same undyed ecru cotton. The absence of dye is the best option from a hypoallergenic perspective. It also allows for a discreet appearance of the pocket linings behind the light-colored fabrics. The belt lining and pocket linings are pre-manufactured by the Italian company FVL, founded in 1990, ensuring ISO and GOTS-certified quality standards. FVL is particularly committed to sustainability and ethical and social protocols, with continuous control of production processes and a fast and efficient traceability system.

As for the buttons, we don’t go far either, still in the Veneto region. We chose to exclusively use corozo buttons, also known as vegetable ivory, which is natural and biodegradable. Corozo is the hard, white albumen found in the seed of a tropical American palm tree. Bottonificio Padano, established in 1982, aims for the elimination of chemical pollutants and the use of increasingly natural pigments. Since 1982, all water used in production, including dyeing and tumbling, is purified and reused in a “closed loop” system, without any discharge into the environment.

Notre développement s’accompagnant d’une grande conscience de la qualité, tout en privilégiant la production locale, nous avons dirigé nos recherches en Italie au cours de l’année 2021. Après de longs mois, nous avons dénichés un petit atelier artisanal au sud de Naples qui est une bénédiction. Notre façonnier de génie a créé son atelier à l’âge de dix huit ans, dans les années 2000. Avant cela, ses parents avaient aussi eu leur propre atelier de pantalons. Ses seules limites, la place et le recrutement des couturières. En dehors de cela, quelle finesse, tout est possible ! Avec notre nouvel atelier, nous développons nos volumes et apportons une grande esthétique artisanale. Nous pouvons travailler en profondeur les modèles et les détails, loin des grandes plateformes industrielles. Un travail en étroite collaboration qui nous permet – c’est très sympa – d’aller en Italie de temps à autres et de revenir la tête pleine d’idées nouvelles. Les maitres mots des Pantalons Scavini sont maintenant finesse, artisanat & localisme. Ils sont coupés dans des draps italiens ou anglais. Un équivalent des modèles des grandes maisons de luxe.
