These handmade kantha shorts feature a relaxed, loose fit with an adjustable elastic waistband and drawstring tie closure. Crafted from 100% upcycled cotton fabric with traditional Indian kantha quilting technique using thousands of small hand-stitched running stitches. Upcycled fashion is using fabric leftovers to create new products, a zero-waste approach. This approach uses pre-consumer waste. The patchwork design features a cream and white base with colorful, geometric panels, accented by blue, teal, and yellow striped borders, as well as intricate tribal patterns. Hand-stitched details create a softly quilted texture throughout the fabric. Two side pockets provide functional storage. Perfect for casual summer days, beach vacations, or festival wear paired with simple tank tops, fitted tees, or flowing blouses.
