Made from pure wool that is certified in accordance with the Responsible Wool Standard (RWS), these pleated trousers have excellent wearing properties: they are warm, temperature-regulating and breathable and retain their shape even when worn for long periods. The fine, softly draping wool fabric is also pleasantly light, not bulky and has an elegant melange look. The cut of the trousers is as comfortable as it is flattering - high-waisted, with a pleat on each side and a wide leg, they create a relaxed silhouette. Two side pockets can hold small items for everyday use. The large, deep back pockets create an attractive rear section. The pants are fastened with a metal zipper, trouser hooks and an inside button. A hand-embroidered triangle on the back bar - a Christiane Strobel trademark - rounds off the design. In short: a great companion for the cool season, which complements both elegant and casual ensembles.

After 25 years in the fast-paced fashion world, Christiane Strobel has been able to focus on her central concern again with the founding of her label: giving fashion back its value. "Clothing should not be limited to a single season, but should be worn and appreciated for many years." Accordingly, the Cologne-based label produces fair fashion from natural materials, which easily outlasts short-lived trends thanks to its quality and timeless design. The collections, which are created as part of a social project in Morocco, mainly use GOTS-certified cotton and wool, which are produced and processed with consideration for resources, the environment and the people involved in the production processes. Transparency is guaranteed along the entire supply chain. Christiane Strobel's trademark is the back of each item of clothing with hand-embroidered triangles, the so-called "darts", some of which have traditional Fassi-style embroidery. This makes each item, whether trousers, dress, T-shirt or jacket, unique with the "signature" of the embroiderer and her name.

The collections are produced by Sitaara Couture and Alnour Textiles, two cooperating social enterprises in Marrakech. They employ women with physical disabilities who would have little or no chance of finding a job in the regular labor market. The working conditions there are exemplary - from fair pay and individual health benefits to a pleasant and equal working environment in which the employees are challenged and supported in their personal and professional development. Not only are they trained, they also receive additional courses in reading, writing, basic arithmetic and IT basics. There is a daycare center and free meals - and the women are also provided with transportation between the workplace and their homes. In short: Christiane Strobel pursues a corporate culture that many other employees in the clothing industry can only dream of.
