The PANEL trousers are named for the panel of colour blocks on the hem, which creates endless possibilities for variations. You can play with contrasting colours or create a subtle effect using two different sides of the same fabric, as we did for the sample. or you can opt to completely leave out the panel, creating voluminous midi shorts to wear for summer trips to beaches, cities, forests, and mountains!

The co-founder’s, Mila Moisio’s, PANEL trousers are inspired by the Bauhaus school of art and design. Bauhaus artists like Gunta Stölzl were revolutionary in developing innovative weaving techniques and forms of artistic expression. Stölzl’s sense of colour and rhythm has been an endless source of inspiration for Mila.
