Hand Crafted Whale Shark Denim Shorts. Each piece is totally unique.
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.
Crafted on repurposed denim or natural fabrics such as cotton and linen, the collection is as comfortable as it is beautiful. These breathable, soft, and skin-friendly fabrics keep you cool, absorb moisture, and feel effortless to wear. They are also a conscious choice—renewable, biodegradable, and free from microplastic shedding—embracing the values of slow fashion and sustainability.
Look closer and you’ll discover exquisite details: fine embroidery and shimmering glass beads, 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.
Immerse yourself in the luxury of truly one-of-a-kind wearable art inspired by the magic of the ocean.
These beautiful denim 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, and marine themes echo the movement and energy of ocean ecosystems, transforming sea life into striking fashion statements.
Made from 100% cotton, each piece is as comfortable as it is beautiful. Naturally breathable, soft, and hypoallergenic, cotton 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.
Our denim collection is crafted from carefully selected recycled garments, sourced from op shops and chosen for their quality, brand, and minimal wear. Rooted in the slow fashion movement, every design reflects our commitment to sustainability and mindful craftsmanship.

We strive to offer a truly unique, individually crafted garment. This garment has even sustainably sourced through secondhand stores. Each piece is hand embellished rather than mass-produced, and as such may feature natural variations that celebrate its individuality. The beads used are carefully sourced from disused jewellery, and 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. Our T-shirts are made from 100% Australian organic cotton. 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.
