Rooted in Dutch workwear history, these trousers draw inspiration from the Manchester workman’s or Kletter jacket and pants. Once worn by coalmen, garbage collectors, and gardeners across North Holland. In the 60s and 70s, it evolved into a symbol of solidarity, adopted by Amsterdam’s activist communities. The Carpenter collection pays tribute to de Branderij, a cooperative carpentry workshop born from the city’s squatting movement. This piece is an ode to their craft, their resistance, and their enduring influence on local culture and style.
