I notice the moment and my breath, and I'm free.
Shorts that move with your body and don't squeeze anywhere are as close to being naked when the temperatures soar. We designed these little flutter shorts to feel like a perfect fairy this summer. You'll want to up and fly away into the clouds with these light-as-air feeling dainties! The high waist holds and hugs the abdomen, and the 2" inseam for all sizes is just the right amount of cheeky to not feel exposed. Lilikoi is wearing size S and is 5'6", 33" bust, 25" waist, 36" hip.
INGREDIENTS: Lenzing certified tencel lyocell: 92% forest fiber from acacia, eucalyptus, poplar, pine, spruce, beech, birch, and maple trees grown on tree farms in Eastern Europe, 8% spandex for stretch, GOTS-certified non-toxic and metal-free dyes, water-based ink, and lots of love! XX
Dyed deep navy. Swallowtail butterfly on back waist. Cut, sewn, dyed, and printed in downtown Los Angeles by small family-owned shops where creators are paid more than minimum wage.

Our Promise To You
Because We Love Everyone And Everything On The Earth


Each piece is ethically made in the USA, sewn in small batches by skilled workers earning fair wages. We prioritize safe, respectful working conditions and local production to ensure every garment reflects the values we stand for- quality, integrity, and care.


Our clothing is free from polyester and traditional petroleum-based synthetics. We use plant-based TENCEL™ and a small amount of Creora® bio-based spandex for stretch- derived in part from renewable resources, but not yet fully plastic free and biodegradable. It's a step toward cleaner, safer clothing for your skin and the planet.


We use plant-based fabrics like TENCEL™ lyocell, ECOVERO™ viscose, and organic cotton, blended with Creora® bio-based spandex for gentle stretch. While the spandex still contains some petroleum, it’s partially derived from renewable sources—making it a better option than traditional synthetics. The result: soft, breathable, lower-impact clothing that feels as good as it is.


Making our clothing in the USA—especially in California—means higher standards across the board. Strict environmental regulations, fair labor laws, and safe working conditions ensure that every piece is made responsibly. It also reduces the carbon footprint of overseas shipping and supports local communities. When you choose USA-made, you’re choosing quality, ethics, and a cleaner planet.

- KRKatya R.Verified BuyerI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 starsMay 29, 2024Super comfy and perfect fit!
I was reluctant to purchase after so many people on the BST page said they were too short. I am SO happy I didn't listen because they are perfect! I wore them two days in a row, to a family get together and to the grocery store the next day and I had zero issues with coverage and I have an athletic build with healthy hips, butt and thighs and still no issues with booty showing! I am lucky to have got both colors with matching tops! I wear a size large, weigh 145lbs, 5'6", 35 bust, 32" waist, 39" hips.

These just became my favorite shorts: cute, soft, comfortable, and with a nice fit (the waist is higher and more fitted, which is nice for wearing both with the matching top or for not being bulky under other tops, and the leg openings are more drapey). I will definitely be buying more pairs of shorts from Purusha People!
