Navy blue linen shorts - Whale Shark Collection

Experience the magic of the ocean with our Whale Shark Collection—a truly captivating fusion of art, craftsmanship, and storytelling.

Inspired by Karen and Rob’s unforgettable swim with whale sharks in Saleh Bay, Sumbawa, Indonesia, this collection brings a once-in-a-lifetime encounter to life. These gentle giants, mesmerising in their scale and grace, are a bucket-list dream for many—and this intimate experience, shared with just a handful of guests and countless whale sharks, left an indelible mark that now lives on through these designs.

Each piece is entirely unique, just like the whale sharks themselves. Their natural spot patterns and individual personalities are reflected through intricate mandala-inspired designs, delicate embroidery, and hand-applied beadwork. No two garments are the same, making every piece a one-of-a-kind treasure.

Look closer and you’ll discover exquisite details: fine embroidery applied using multiple artistic techniques. Each garment is more than clothing—it’s a wearable work of art, designed to be admired, felt, and cherished for years to come.

These beautiful shorts are designed and embroidered by Karen, with only one of each design ever made. No repeats, no replicas—just exclusive, collectible fashion art. Inspired by the underwater world, the organic shapes, bold colours, and marine themes echo the movement and energy of ocean ecosystems, transforming sea life into striking fashion statements. They match perfectly with the Navy Blue Whale Shark T-shirt if you wish to have a matching set. A discount at checkout is provided if you wish to purchase both.

Made from 100% linen, they are as comfortable as is beautiful. Naturally breathable, soft, and hypoallergenic, linen keeps you cool, absorbs moisture, and feels gentle on the skin. It’s also a sustainable choice—renewable, biodegradable, and free from microplastic shedding—making these garments kind to both you and the planet.

We strive to offer a truly unique, individually crafted garment. Each piece is handmade rather than mass-produced, and as such may feature natural variations that celebrate its individuality. The thread comes from long-loved craft stashes generously collected from fellow makers. By repurposing these materials, we do our part to support the environment through thoughtful recycling. These shorts are made from 100% Australian organic linen. When you shop with us, you can do so with confidence, knowing you are investing in a garment created with care, integrity, and sustainability—one to wear, treasure for years, and hopefully pass on for someone else to enjoy.

Please choose carefully as we do not accept returns unless it is damaged in transit where you can claim on insurance.
