Shorts are comfortable to wear in summer. These are made from heavyweight heavy jersey that is both soft and skin-friendly. The fabric is made from pure organic cotton. An elasticated waistband combined with a drawstring with a tie ensures a snug fit for these otherwise fasteneless shorts. Two inset side pockets and two inset back pockets can hold small items for everyday use.

“Mela” is a Hindi word meaning “acting together,” and this philosophy is at the heart of everything the Kassel-based label Melawear does. Producing clothing, bags, and sneakers in India, Melawear personally selects its partners on-site and regularly undergoes inspections by Fair Trade and GOTS certification bodies. The certifications cover the entire process—from the cultivation of organic cotton through dyeing and fabric production to garment manufacturing. In addition, the products are certified with the “Grüner Knopf” seal, a government textile certification that recognizes companies that already meet particularly stringent social and environmental standards and aim to further raise this high bar. Last but not least, Melawear aims to offer a timeless alternative to the fast-paced nature of the fashion industry through its products.

Staining of light-coloured clothing, furniture and other objects is possible.
