Product Information

Full details

These Vivienne Westwood Elle Button Shorts are designed for the adult female seeking a blend of classic style and comfortable wear. The key benefit lies in their sophisticated pinstripe design and unique button details, offering a refined look inspired by archival collections. A potential caveat for some may be the specific sizing (UK 12) and the material requiring careful handling. Crafted from soft cotton, these shorts feature a high-waisted silhouette and are detailed with oval-shaped amber buttons embossed with the signature 'Line Orb' motif, drawing inspiration from the 'Café Society' Spring-Summer 1994 collection.
