The pair became inspired to create this functional line after traveling to India. Suner and Renyung's preoccupation with India is reflected in the production process of all MATTER garments. The articles of clothing are made by way of [ancient looming techniques](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/matter-colection). Members of local Rajasthan communities are also apart of the creation of the [wide-legged trousers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/climber-easy-pants), each one featuring unique patterns, prints and an array of colors. One of the most appealing aspects of the MATTER products are their no-fuss approach to fashion. Zippers and clasps have been done away with altogether, making the pieces easy to wear on foreign trips. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Slow Fashion:** Using ancient looming techniques and local communities in production process - **Travel Wearables:** Creating clothing for purposes of travel around the world - **Functional Clothing:** Designs with no-fuss approach to fashion: Zippers and clasps free ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion and Apparel:** Incorporating ancient looming techniques and local communities in production for sustainable and ethical fashion - **Travel and Tourism:** Providing functional and travel-oriented clothing for tourists - **Sustainable Development:** Supporting sustainable and ethical practices by collaborating with local communities and preserving traditional techniques ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Water-Repellent Weekend Travel Pants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/72hour-merino-travel-pant.md) - [Adaptable Adventure-Proof Pants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/100-year-pants-v2.md) - [Travel-Friendly Summer Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lake-geneva-series.md) - [Functional Streetwear Trousers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/climber-easy-pants.md) - [Custom-Milled Canvas Pants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ten-thousand-tactical-utility-pant.md) - [Mindful Travel Lineups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/farans.md) - [Versatile Cargo Pants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/versatile-cargo-pants.md) - [Tactical Technical Fabric Pants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vollebak-carbon-fibre-dyneema-pants.md) - [Thoughtful Avid Traveler Luggage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wandrd-transit-travel-line.md)
