Product Details
A light, easy short for the in-between hours — over swimmers, on the walk to the water, or on their own for the rest of the day. Elastic waistband, no zip, nothing to dig in when you sit down on sand.
Summer Soiree is Carley Bourne's summer garden — aqua and teal with flecks of coral, painted in acrylics.
Why you'll love it
- Soft elastic waistband — no zip, no buttons
- Four-way stretch that moves and springs back rather than bagging out
- Soft and light enough to pack into a tote and forget
- Flat seams that don't rub
Can you wear them over swimmers?
Yes — they're cut to pull straight on over a wet swimsuit without clinging, which is most of the reason they exist.
How do they fit?
True to size with an easy, relaxed leg.
Fabric and care
• 78% polyester, 22% elastane
• UPF 50+ sun protection
Machine wash cold, inside out, with like colours. Hang to dry — no tumble drying, no ironing, no bleach. Keep them off rough surfaces like concrete, pool edges and rock, which can pill or snag the fabric.
How is it made?
Printed and sewn to order, one piece at a time. Nothing sits in a warehouse and nothing gets made that nobody wanted — that's the heart of how we keep waste down. It means a few extra days before it ships, and a piece that exists because you asked for it.

Simple maintenance practices, such as gentle washing and proper storage, can effectively preserve the longevity of your favorites. We encourage you to refer to the care instructions included with each item, designed to help you keep your purchase in top condition.
