Description
The Venture Shorts take the ease of a pull-on short and give it the polish of tailoring. Cut from a lightweight organic cotton chino drill in Laurel, a soft sage green, they sit at the knee with front pleats that add volume and a gentle flare through the leg.
An elasticated waistband keeps them comfortable all day, while the self-fabric tie lets you cinch them in for a neater shape. Angled front pockets, roomy back patch pockets and ecru contrast topstitching give them a quiet workwear feel.
Wear them with a boxy tee and flats on warm days, or tuck in a crisp shirt when you want something a little sharper. Like every Kowtow piece, they are made from Fairtrade certified organic cotton and are completely plastic free.

About Kowtow
Kowtow was founded in Wellington in 2006 with a clear purpose: to prove that ethical fashion can be beautiful, wearable, and modern. Every piece is designed in the Wellington workroom and crafted from certified Fairtrade organic cotton, entirely plastic-free, using shell, nut, and hemp buttons and natural rubber instead of synthetic elastic. Collections take over 18 months to develop, with each stage approached mindfully in close partnership with manufacturers in India. Kowtow is not just a sustainable brand; it is one of New Zealand's most respected fashion labels, full stop. The quality and design speak for themselves.
