Dark Indigo
OBSIDIAN LACE
Low rise. Long flare. No subtlety
Dark indigo / black lace. Cut low on the hip, close through the thigh, then released into a long flare. The lace is cut and stitched in by hand, one pair at a time — which is why there are only 35 of them.

I ruined four pairs of jeans on my kitchen floor before one held.
I started PoppyTrove in my second year of art school because I was sick of denim that only looked good in the photo. Everything in shops was safe, stretchy, and made by a machine that had never met a person.
So I taught myself to sew lace into denim. Badly, at first. I ruined four pairs on my kitchen floor before the first one held. Every pair we ship is still cut and finished by hand in a tiny studio — which is exactly why there are only a handful of each colourway.
If you buy a pair, you own something almost nobody else has. That's the whole point.

They sit low on the hip and stay close through the hip and thigh before opening into the flare. If you are between sizes and want a little more room at the waist, take the larger size.
Yes — a true early-2000s low rise, cut to sit below the natural waist.
Very. The hem is wide enough to cover most of the shoe, which is what gives the leg its long line.
The lace inserts are sheer by design and sit at the side panel and lower leg. The body of the jean is solid denim.
A small top, a pointed shoe and nothing else fighting for attention. The jeans are the outfit.
Cold wash inside out on a delicate cycle, or hand wash. Hang to dry and never tumble dry the lace panels.

OUT IN THE WILD
HOW A PAIR HAPPENS
The denim is sourced
Heavy vintage-weight denim, washed down until it moves like something you already own.
The lace is cut by hand
Every panel is traced and cut by hand, so no two pairs land exactly the same.
Stitched, one pair at a time
The lace is set into the flare and stitched in — slow, and the reason the run is small.
Then we stop at 35
When the run is gone it is gone. No restock, no second wave, no reprint.
WORN. SEEN. OBSESSED OVER.
"the lace disappears until the light catches it. genuinely the best detail on any jeans i own."
"heavyweight rigid denim. the obsidian lace contrast is insane in person."
"worth every rupee. already ordered the Blossom pair so i have both colourways."
