The light and airy fabric of these shorts is made of equal parts cotton and linen, which makes it pleasant to the skin and particularly breathable - perfect for hot summer days. The woven vertical stripes add a striking visual accent and slim the silhouette. The knee-length shorts have a loose fit with a straight, wide leg. An elasticated waistband with a drawstring ensures a snug and comfortable fit. Two side pockets can hold small items for everyday use.

Behind the Danish label Care By Me are designer Camilla Gullits and her business partner Pernille Pold. Their designs combine Danish design and the traditional craftsmanship of India and Nepal, as their aim is not only to offer high-quality and durable clothing and home textiles, but also to produce them in a resource-friendly and fair way. In Nepal, for example, handmade textiles make up a large part of the national economy and, as in India, the production of textiles is traditionally in the hands of women. Care By Me therefore works with small workshops where women can learn and practise the traditional craft in order to provide them with a secure income. The new wool comes from the region around Kathmandu and is also spun there. The cotton used comes from controlled organic cultivation and Care By Me sources it from a GOTS and fair trade-certified partner company.
