Category: Chino Short

The Black Iris Shorts are cut from handwoven ikat fabric, a textile tradition where pattern and structure are woven directly into the cloth by skilled artisans in India. The result is a black-and-white chino short with quiet visual depth that holds up wash after wash, styled in New Orleans and made fair trade from 100% woven cotton.

  • Handwoven ikat fabric in 100% woven cotton: the pattern is built into the weave itself, giving each pair a subtle variation that reflects genuine handcraft rather than a printed surface.
  • Button fly with back elastic waistband: structured at the front for a clean silhouette, relaxed at the back for all-day comfort without sacrificing fit.
  • Functional pockets included: a practical detail that often goes missing in women's shorts, here by design.
  • Runs slightly large with no stretch: if you are between sizes, sizing down gives a more accurate fit.

Because these shorts are handmade, minor shade variation between pairs is part of the process, not a flaw. Pair them with a simple top or a matching set for a look that travels easily from casual to considered.

Zoe T. ★★★★★

I love how the handwoven ikat fabric makes these shorts feel substantial without being stiff, and the pattern shifts slightly in the light. They’ve quickly become my go-to for casual summer wear.

Claire ★★★★★

The ikat pattern has this subtle depth that photos just don't capture—it shifts in the light when you move. Fit is true to size and the fabric breathes nicely on warm days.

Adam ★★★★★

The handwoven ikat texture looks incredible up close—each pair feels unique. They’re surprisingly lightweight for chino shorts and have held their shape well after several washes.
