Mela Purdie Soft Zip Pant Mache
Description
If you already love Mela Purdie's Mache pants, the Soft Zip Pant is a new shape worth knowing about. Cut from their signature Japanese Mache, the fabric has a smooth, fluid finish that feels light on the body and is wonderfully easy to care for. The leg is relaxed with a subtle taper towards the ankle, while an elasticated waistband keeps things comfortable and slanted zip pockets add a sporty, practical detail. Cropped to show a little ankle, they're an ideal spring pant for everyday wear, travel and those days when comfort is very much part of the dress code.
