Material
Our shorts are crafted from pre-loved Indian saris and deadstock textiles. Indian ethnic-style shorts often use breathable natural fabrics such as cotton, khadi, linen, rayon, or silk blends to suit warm climates.
Origin Story
Each pair is made from upcycled saris, giving new life to beautiful textiles and celebrating Indian heritage. Khadi is a hand-spun, hand-woven fabric that requires zero electricity to produce, has a natural slub texture, breathes exceptionally well, and supports artisan communities.
Artisan
Handcrafted by local female artisans in India, each piece is a testament to skilled craftsmanship and empowerment.
Craftsmanship
Traditional techniques such as Dabu printing and Ajrakh hand-block printing may be featured, using eco-friendly materials like natural dyes (indigo, turmeric, pomegranate rind) and mud resist paste. These methods are applied to fabrics such as cotton, khadi, silk, crepe, georgette, and wool.
Sustainability Impact
By choosing these shorts, you support a people- and planet-first approach. We use pre-loved saris and deadstock, reducing waste and championing sustainable fashion. Khadi production uses zero electricity and supports artisan livelihoods.

Fit & measurements
Find your true size
Every body measures a little differently, so we size by chest, waist and hip girth rather than guesswork. Use the reference table below alongside the measuring guide to check yourself before you order.
Size chart
All measurements are body girth, in centimetres, with 1cm of ease already built in.
| Size | XS | S | M | L | XL | XXL |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EUR | 34 | 36 | 38/40 | 42 | 44 | 46 |
| Chest | 80–84 | 85–89 | 90–95 | 96–101 | 102–108 | 109–115 |
| Waist | 60–64 | 65–69 | 70–75 | 76–81 | 82–88 | 89–95 |

Between two sizes? Go by your chest measurement first for tops, or hips for bottoms, see the notes below.
How to measure
Use a soft tape, wear light clothing, and keep the tape level all the way around.
Chest
Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest, level across the back. Keep it snug, not tight, and read the measurement where the tape meets.
Waist
Find your natural waistline, usually the narrowest point of your torso. Don't hold your stomach in, keep the tape level and comfortably snug.
Low hip
Stand with feet together and wrap the tape around the fullest part of your hips and seat, straight and level front to back.
Note: all size ranges include 1cm of ease for comfort.
