Bright stripes, fine checks, a leftover length of linen from an Italian weaving mill: these are the shirting fabrics PURSIK.boxers turns into boxer shorts and pyjama trousers for every gender. Darja Gontscharov founded the small label in Düsseldorf in 2024 and sells it through her own online shop as well as at markets and pop-ups. If you are looking for a Düsseldorf label for unisex boxer shorts made from deadstock, this is where you find one-offs and small runs instead of multipacks. Put simply, PURSIK.boxers turns leftover shirting into comfortable trousers for lounging at home, sleeping, or everyday wear.
The idea is simple and practical. Shirting fabrics are fine, airy and soft on the skin, and weaving mills and shirt makers regularly end up with fabric from past collections that never becomes a shirt. Darja buys exactly these deadstock fabrics, often from Italian mills, and designs relaxed shorts and trousers from them. Because quantities are limited, PURSIK does not work in fixed seasons. A core collection remains, and new designs are added whenever suitable fabrics appear. Many patterns become just one single pair. Once it is sold, the design is gone.
Everything is sewn in small batches at a women-led sewing workshop in Wassenberg, where Darja works closely and personally with the team. New styles are developed there in direct exchange. The fabrics are cotton, linen or blends of the two, with no synthetic fibres in the weave. The waistband uses an elastic, and the labels are made of polyester. Instead of S, M and L, PURSIK uses its own size system from 1 to 3, and the cuts are deliberately loose so different body shapes feel comfortable. No buttons are used, which keeps the trousers simple and easy to repair. Every pair is washed with a mild detergent and ironed before it is sold, so you can wear it straight away. If a seam ever comes undone, Darja can recommend a tailor in Düsseldorf on request. Prices range from 75 to 115 euros depending on the style.
Looking for comfortable unisex boxer shorts or pyjama trousers made from shirting in Düsseldorf? PURSIK.boxers has no permanent store. It sells through its own online shop and at markets and pop-ups, where you can feel the fabrics and try on the cuts in person. The styles and fabrics currently available are shown in the PURSIK.boxers online shop. Since many designs exist only once, check back regularly, and if you spot a pattern you like, don’t wait too long. Orders are shipped without plastic, wrapped in tissue paper and packed in a cardboard box. Within Düsseldorf, Darja delivers some orders herself.
