These high-waisted A-line shorts combine structure with effortless comfort. Designed with a snug fit around the waist and a loose, flowing shape through the legs, they offer a flattering silhouette that accentuates your shape while ensuring ease and style. Featuring flattened pleats for a polished look, and a sleek invisible zipper with a button closure, they are the perfect blend of comfort and sophistication. Crafted in our signature breathable linen, these shorts are ideal for everything from casual days to elevated evenings. Pair with a cropped halter or tailored blouse for a timeless ensemble.

We use 100% pure linen — no blends, no shortcuts. Just breathable, natural fibre that gets softer with every wear. Our pieces are made in partnership with small-scale manufacturers who specialise in craftsmanship, not mass production. Every seam, stitch and shirred panel is done with intention — because details matter.

We’re committed to sustainability with every detail. Our pieces are crafted from 100% pure linen, a natural, eco-friendly fabric that’s biodegradable and long-lasting. Even our packaging is compostable, ensuring a lighter footprint on the planet.

We choose pre-order to avoid overproduction and create only what’s truly wanted. By working with small-batch makers with low minimums, we can produce intentionally — based on real customer feedback, not guesswork. Every pre-order helps us gauge interest, refine fit, and improve with each run. It’s how we test and evolve our capsule collection — slowly, thoughtfully, and always with you in mind. Thank you for being part of the process.
