Kardo’s Olbia short sits clean at the waist, where an elastic hold gathers the fabric into a compact, easy volume. It wears lightly on the body, keeping the shape simple and unforced.
100% khadi cotton
Undyed and unbleached
Hand embroidered
Phulkari
Regular fit
Pull on short shorts
Elastic waist with drawstring
Made by one tailor from beginning to end
Hand-finished
Phulkari, meaning ‘floral work,’ is an ancient craft deeply rooted in Punjab’s agricultural landscape. Its motifs go beyond flowers, drawing inspiration from grain plumes, cotton, acacia, mustard, and birds—reflecting the region’s vibrant life and culture. This piece is embroidered by Manjit Kaur from Maloya village, who leads Ruhan, a self-help group of 40 women. She reimagines traditional Phulkari motifs as custom placement embroidery on our hand-spun, handwoven khadi cotton fabric from Udyog Bharti, a collective supporting sustainable textile production.
